Answer

The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given linear equation is $\Rightarrow -x+2y=7$ $x$ intercept. Substitute $0$ for $y$. $\Rightarrow -x+2(0)=7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -x=7$ Multiply each side by $-1$. $\Rightarrow -1(-x)=-1(7)$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=-7$ The $x-$ intercept is $-7$, so plot the point $(-7,0)$ $y$ intercept. Substitute $0$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow -(0)+2y=7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 0+2y=7$ $\Rightarrow 2y=7$ Divide each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=\frac{7}{2}$ The $y-$ intercept is $\frac{7}{2}$, so plot the point $B=(0,\frac{7}{2})$ Draw a line through the points $A$ and $B$.
