To graph the equation y = -2/7x + 6, we can follow these steps:
1. Choose a range of x-values to plot the graph. Let's say x-values from -14 to 14 will be sufficient.
2. Plug the x-values into the equation to find the corresponding y-values.
For example, when x = -7: y = -2/7(-7) + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8
when x = 0: y = -2/7(0) + 6 = 6
when x = 7: y = -2/7(7) + 6 = -2 + 6 = 4
3. Plot these points (-7, 8), (0, 6), (7, 4) and draw a straight line passing through them.
4. Extend the line beyond the plotted points to get a clear view of the line's direction.
The graph of the equation y = -2/7x + 6 will be a straight line that slopes downwards from left to right.
