This is a graph of which equation? a) 2x + 6y = 12 b) 4x - 6y = 24 c) 6x - 4y = 0 d) 5x + 4y = 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the graph:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so your slope is positive and then you know when x is zero, y is -4, and when y is zero x is 6. So now you can just plug those in and see which works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example \[2(0)+ 6y = 12, y = 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so option a isn't it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! So it's B right? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct! Stay winning!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yuusss! Omg thankyouuu :D Forgot x or y had to be zero.. Merp:P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np, good luck on the rest of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @kobesaurus !

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

GREAT! However, there is a better way to handle that type of problem instead of going by trial and error.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh really? What's your way?:P

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

solve for the equation of the line given two coordinates.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

I would explain it, but it takes too much work and this website has provided everything in detail. http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/line-equation-2points.html
