witch point lies on the line defined by 3x+6y=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

many points lie on that line. choose any value for x and see what value of y you get for that value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post your results here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,2), (o,6), (1,-1/6y), or (1,-1/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this a multiple choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay substitute x = 0 in your equation and see what value of y you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i got 6y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt it (0,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. if 6y=2, what is the value of y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o so its gotta be (0,6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope. you are not answering my question. if 6y = 2, what is y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooo im not trying to find the value of y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you are. only that way will you get a point of the form (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just want the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of the points you mentioned lie on the line.
