Question

If the point (-1/2, y) lies on the line whose equation is 2x - 3y = 6, what is the value of y?

A.-7/3
B.-5/3
C.7/3

Answer 1

A

Answer 2

@mekaprasantho , don't give the answer!
just show him\her the way!

Answer 3

@DjNck , just put x = -1/2 in the equation!

Answer 4

2(-1/2) - 3y = 6
solve for y :)

Answer 5

2x - 3y = 6
Since (-1/2, y) lies on the line therefore substituting x= =-1/2 and y=y in the given eq we find
2*(-1/2) - 3y = 6
i.e. -1 -3y=6
i.e. -3y = 6+1
i.e. -3y =7
i.e. y=7/(-3)
i.e. y=-7/3
Thus option A is correct
