please help :) its multiple choice

amistre64 · Answer

that is the help, youre spose to plug in the numbers and solve

i just subtract one point from the other and then stack y/x

amistre64 · Answer

x   y
  (2, 6)
-(0, 2)
------
   2, 4

now stack y/x and what do we have?

anonymous · Answer

but whats the answer choice

amistre64 · Answer

y/x apparently

anonymous · Answer

but there's two answers that has the choice of either 2, or 4..

amistre64 · Answer

what does y =?

anonymous · Answer

2?

amistre64 · Answer

not 2 ...  


   x   y
  (2, 6)
-(0, 2)
------
   2, 4

its written like this so that you can even pick out which one is y (its the column with a y over it)  and the x (its the column with an x over it)

the number under the y part comes out to be 4

the number in the x part is a 2 

to stack y/x we take the y=4 part and put it in the top; and take the x=2 part and put it underneath to form ...

  4/2  tada!!!


then we simplify this fraction by dividing 4 by 2 to get 2
