x = 1 → y = − 3 5 ​ ∗ 1 + 3 50 ​ = − 3 5 ​ + 3 50 ​ = 3 45 ​ = 15 x = 10 → y = − 3 5 ​ ∗ 10 + 3 50 ​ = − 3 50 ​ + 3 50 ​ = 0

you have to put the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, so you have to subract 10x from both sides to get 6y=-10x+100, then divide all the terms by 6 to get y=-5/3x+16 2/3. Then all you do is graph 16 2/3 on the y axis and from that point do the slope, which is -5/3, so you have to go down on the y axis 5, and over to the right 3, and put a point. Then you just repeat this to get a few more points to be able to draw a line. (I hope this helps! sorry if i confused you even more, I'm not the best at explaining things, but hopefully I cleared things up a bit for you)

To graph the equation 10 x + 6 y = 100 , convert it to slope-intercept form, resulting in y = − 3 5 ​ x + 3 50 ​ . Identify the slope and y-intercept, plot relevant points, and draw the line. This visual representation illustrates how x and y are related in the equation.
