Question

Which point lies on the line defined by 3x + 6 y = 2? PLEASE SHOW WORK :]

Answer 1

Are there particular points you want us to look at?

Answer 2

An infinite number of points lie on a line

Answer 3

If you want any point, you can let x=0 to get 6y=2
y=1/3
you would have the point (1, 1/3) on the line

Answer 4

one of the answer choices was (1, -1/3)

Answer 5

err that was a mistake, the point i got was (0, 1/3) but (1, -1/3) might be a point... let's see :)

Answer 6

if x=1, then
3+6y=2
6y= -1
y= -1/6

So (1, -1/3) would not lie on th eline

Answer 7

hmmm other answer choices were (0,2), (0,6),(1,-1/6)

Answer 8

well we have the answer then. We just solved for the point on the line when x=1 and got (1, -1/6)
:)
Do you understand the process though of how we got the answer?

Answer 9

I do...I just plugged in all the answers to the first equation (3x+6y=2) and (1,-1/6) was the only answer that worked...thats another way to solve it right?

Answer 10

yup :)
That works too

Answer 11

Cool ! <3 Thank you !
