Question

Choose the correct procedure used to graph the equation 2x + 4y = 24 using the intercepts method.

Solve the equation for y to get a y-intercept of (0, 6) and a slope of -one half. Plot the y-intercept, count the slope to get another point and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Let x equal zero and solve for y to find a y-intercept of (0, 6). Let y equal zero and solve for x to find an x-intercept of (12, 0). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points.

Choose two different values; plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values. Plo

Answer 1

Choose two different values; plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values. Plot the two points and draw the line that passes through the two points.

Solve the equation for y to find an intercept of (6, 0); solve the equation for x to find a y-intercept of (0, 12). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points.

The last two ^^^

Answer 2

@jim_thompson5910 ?

Answer 3

you need two points to plot any line

Answer 4

in this case, you just need the x and y intercepts

Answer 5

y = 6 but i don't know what x is

Answer 6

to find the x-intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x

Answer 7

i'm very confused. i'm horrible at this.

Answer 8

2x + 4y = 24

2x + 4(0) = 24 ... plug in y = 0

2x + 0 = 24

2x = 24

x = ??

Answer 9

x is 12.

Answer 10

so that's the x-intercept

Answer 11

now that you know the x and y intercept, you have your two points needed to draw the line

Answer 12

So, the very last one, right?

Answer 13

no it's

Let x equal zero and solve for y to find a y-intercept of (0, 6). Let y equal zero and solve for x to find an x-intercept of (12, 0). Plot the two points and draw a line passing through the two points.

Answer 14

so you had the coordinates mixed up

Answer 15

ooh okay thanks again

Answer 16

sure thing
