Answer 1

HELP PLease ill rank you

Answer 2

one sec, i'm brushing up on the different methods

Answer 3

ok:) @AriPotta

Answer 4

ok, well first we have to change the equation into y = mx + b

Answer 5

4x + 6y = 48
6y = -4x + 48
y = -4/6 + 8

Answer 6

thanks @AriPotta was that part one

Answer 7

so we know that the y-intercept is 8

Answer 8

no, not yet lol.

Answer 9

i'm working this out, sorry

Answer 10

so we put a point at (0,8)

Answer 11

its fine :) youre helping its all good

Answer 12

then use the slope, -4/6 to plot another point. we go down 4 and go to the right 6 to get a point at (6,5)

Answer 13

tell me when we being part 2

Answer 14

so with two points, we can make the line (except it's going to be straight, and not caddywonkus)

Answer 15

so that was part 1

Answer 16

use what i was saying for your written part

Answer 17

and now part 2

Answer 18

:)

Answer 19

for the intercepts method, we can use our y = mx + b equation y = -4/6x + 8

Answer 20

wait, i think i'm doing something wrong..

Answer 21

sigh.

Answer 22

hmm whats that

Answer 23

the intercepts method isn't really working out for me..

Answer 24

mmm iseee

Answer 25

give me a few minutes to check...

Answer 26

ahh i see

Answer 27

ok, we have to find the x-intercept. so we substitute 0 for y in our equation.
0 = -4/6x + 8
-8 = -4/6x
12 = x

so our x-intercept is 12. and our first point will be at (12,0)

then we can plot the y-intercept, which is at (0,8). then we can draw the line in between them

Answer 28

there you go :)

Answer 29

sorry i had to extend the graph for the x-intercept lol

Answer 30

thanks :)!

Answer 31

does that make sense though?

Answer 32

yes i actaully undeerstood it

Answer 33

great :)

Answer 34

Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (-5, 9).

y = -5

y = 9

x = -5

x = 9

Answer 35

y = 9
