Question

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

Answer 1

are there points to chosen from?

Answer 2

but first thing you'll have to do nonetheless is to find out y in a y=mx+b sort of format.

so 3x+6y=2 isolate the y
6y=-3x+2
reduce y so that it could =1
y=(-3x+2)/6
y=-1/2x+1/3

Answer 3

there is (0,2) (0,6) (1, -1/6) (1, -1/3)

Answer 4

now that the equation has been solved, think you could figure it?

Answer 5

i already knew how to put it into standard form, I just don't know how to get the actual answer and i have to show my work

Answer 6

oh, I see, then um, well one way to do this is going through it one by one.... actually that's the only way I know.

so I'd set x=0 and see what I get for y, if it happened to be 2 or 6 then that's my point respectively. if not then I'd go on and set x=1 and if the y value is one of those points then that be the point.
