is any point on the plane given ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because there can be many solutions
OpenStudy (kropot72):
Can you subtract 4x From both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for many values of x u get different y's
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dude kropot it is still the same

A.y = -12 - 4/3 x
B.y = -4 - 4/3 x
C.y = -12 + 4x
D.y = -4 + 4x
Are the choices given

Can you subtract 4x from both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The question here is asking you to make \(y\) a function of \(x.\) Do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ofcourse i do

@simpleeLizzy, do you know how to solve equations for a particular variable?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to be honest no ; math isnt my thing /;

4x+3y=-12
3y=-12-4x
y=-4-4/3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, well.. Here's what you can do. You can get the \(x\) on the left side. To do this, you subtract it from both sides. Do you follow so far?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yhis is it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is it
OpenStudy (kropot72):
(4x - 4x) + 3y = -12 - 4x
0 + 3y = -12 - 4x
@simpleeLizzt Do you follow?

check my steps
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@karthik_a.k.a_joker, the point is to show the asker how to get to that answer, not to just outright state it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my steps were showing the procedure of how to approach the problem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ahhh im just getting more confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
check my steps @simpleeLizzy

4x + 3y = -12
Subtract 4x from both sides:
3y= -4x-12
Divide both sides by 3:
Y=1/3 (-12-4x)
Result: Y=-4/3 (x+3)

I hope this help.

are u insane it one equation & 2 unknown
