[6.01] Select the system of equations that corresponds to the given graph. http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/assessment_images/educator_algebra1_v10/06_04_08.jpg 4x + y = 6 6x + 3y = 6 −3x + y = 2 4x + 2y = 4 2x + y = 4 6x + 3y = 12 4x + 2y = 6 6x + 3y = 12 help me
In general, if you post a link to a system where you have to log in, someone who is not a user of that system will not be able to see the thing to which you linked.
oh sorry
But no matter, I'll how to do it! You've got a pile of equations, and a graph. You want to see which equations go with the graph. The easy way to do it is to plug in x=0 and find the value of y that makes it true, giving you the point (0,y-intercept) and then do the same thing, plugging in y = 0 and find the value of x that makes it true, giving you the point (x-intercept, 0). Now look for the graph where the line goes through those two points!
Let's take \[4x+y=6\]First set x = 0 \[4(0)+y=6\]\[0+y=6\]\[y=6\]so one point is \((0,6)\) Now do the same except with y = 0 \[4x + 0 = 6\]\[4x=6\]\[x=6/4\]so the other point is \((6/4,0)\) so that is the equation of a line which passes through (0,6) and (6/4,0)
a quick glance at the graph you provided shows that it is not the equation of either of the lines.
so that means we can disregard any answer choice which contains that equation.
let me know which choice you make and I'll check it for you
I think this one 4x + 2y = 4 2x + y = 4
"isolate y" means "rearrange the equation so it begins y = ..." 4x - y = 8 subtract 8 from both sides of equation 4x - y - 8 = 0 add y to both sides of equation 4x - 8 = y which you can flip around to y = 4x - 8 Now, there is no 4x - 8 in the choices, but 4x - 8 = -8 + 4x Rearrange first to 4x -8 = y or y = -8 + 4x and substitute this. So the third choice is the correct answer. Am i right????
4x + 2y = 4 and 2x + y = 4 okay, let's find the intercepts: 4(0) + 2y = 4 2y = 4 y = 2 (0,2) is one point 4x+2(0) = 4 4x=4 x=1 (1,0) is the other point The line sloping upper left to lower right goes through (0,2) and (1,0) so 4x+2y=4 is the graph of that equation. so far so good.
I am so sorry wrong thing so sorry for that
the other equation: 2x+y=4 2(0) + y = 4 y = 4 (0,4) is one point that is not crossed by the other line, so this is not the correct set of equations.
so pick a different answer choice that contains 4x + 2y = 4
this 4x + 2y = 6 6x + 3y = 12
again, let's find the intercepts: 6(0) + 3y = 12 y = 4 (0,4) 6x+3(0) = 12 x=2 (2,0) unfortunately, neither line appears to pass through both of those points...so that is not correct.
