Question

Consider the equation 4x + 6y = 48.
Part 1: On your own paper, graph this equation using the slope-intercept method. In the space provided, explain, in words, each step of the procedure you used. Make sure to use complete sentences and correct grammar.

Answer 1

4x + 6y = 48. solve for y

Answer 2

reorder and get
6y=48-4x -> y=-4x/6+8 ->y=-2x/3+8
so slope is -2/3 and y-intersect is 8

Answer 3

y = -(2/3)*x+8

Answer 4

I need the explanation on the graph. Like writing it down in words.

Answer 5

well whenever you solve something like 4x + 6y = 48. for y you get it in something called y intercept form and it looks like this y=m*x+b

Where m is slope and b is the y intercept when x=0

so if you solve you get
y = -(2/3)*x+8

it means slope is -2/3 and y intercept is 8

Answer 6

Now can you explain how I would graph that? In words not a picture. please.
