GRAPH: 2X+3Y=6
first you would isolate the y variable so that it would be in the form of y=mx+b where x and y is any coordinate on the graph, and m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
@brestar ok so what is y=?
I GOT 2 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT
y=(2/3)x+6 would be your final equation
wait i mean 2 instead of 6 my bad.
LOL I WAS RIGHT
yes your y intercept is 2 what is your slope? and how do you move
slope is 2/3
because you subtract the 2x, (another one of my errors, it'd be -2 as the slope my bad again)
then you'd divide by 3 to get y all by itself
@thestrokes95 your slope is negative
so it'd end up being y=-2/3x+2
i clearly can't do quick math...ope..
I NEED HELP GRAPHING IT
if you can identify your y-intercept, that is where you begin to graph and if you can identify your slope, that tells you how to plot the rest of the pointss. you told me your y intercept is 2 so you start at (0,2) what is your slope? that will tell you how to move
SLOPE IS -2/3
CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME HOW THEY GRAPHED IT BECAUSE I GOT THE ANSWER FROM THE BOOK BUT IT SHOWING ME SOMETHING ELSE
do you understand that 2x+3y=6 3y=6-2x y=6/3-2/3x y=2-(2/3)x your y intercept is (0,2) and your slope is -2/3 how do you move when your slope is -2/3? by the way if your slope is negative that means your line is going down
GOT IT
ok hope I helped. You might want to check out that website. You can practice graphing
|dw:1331851106616:dw| this is how you move from the y intercept
