Question

6x+3=y, How would i solve for "Y"

Answer 1

it is solved for y already

Answer 2

Is that the exact question you are looking at?

Answer 3

Then how would i graph it?

Answer 4

3 is the y-intercept, so (0,3) is a point on the graph. You just need to find one more point on the graph, plot it, and draw a line between the two points

Answer 5

How would i do that?

Answer 6

so if x = 1, then y = 6(1)+3 = 9, meaning (1, 9) is another point on the graph

Answer 7

wait lemme check it really qucik

Answer 8

Its wrong

Answer 9

How would you solve for X

Answer 10

what does your answer say?
that isn't wrong, but i'm not sure what your teacher wants

Answer 11

I described how to draw a picture (graph) of the line

Answer 12

Okay this is how the question is written: "Graph each linear equation?" Then its gives me the problem which is : y=6x+3

Answer 13

okay. you can use the method of plotting 2 points that I described to do that

Answer 14

or you can plot the y-intercept and use slope

Answer 15

Can you give me an example using this problem and using the y- intercepr and use slope method

Answer 16

The slope is 6 (the number in from of the x term). This means that for every 1 unit we move in the positive x direction, the line goes up 6 in the y direction

Answer 17

the y-intercept is (0, 3)
so using slope if we move to x = 1, we need to add 6 to y. So another point is
(1, 9)

Answer 18

Then another would be (2, 15), etc..

Answer 19

Wait lemme check again

Answer 20

you just need to plot 2 points that are on the line to draw the line

Answer 21

But in the back of my book the graph doesnt go that high, I only goes upto 5 and thats it.

Answer 22

oh, ok

Answer 23

I am still confused.

Answer 24

The previouis problem was x-2y=6 and this one was the one after

Answer 25

You can still plot two points and draw a line through them, the book just didn't use nice whole numbers to graph its line

Answer 26

you could let y = 0 and find the x-intercept too

Answer 27

0 =6x+3
x = -1/2
so (-1/2, 0) is another point on the graph

Answer 28

you got Y already.
