Question

How could I find the graph of this equation 2x - 3y = 12 ? What would be the slope and the y-intercept ..

Answer 1

Yes , I thought I knew how to convert it but I got a whole bunch of decimals . like Y = 1.3x - 2.7 ?

Answer 2

So we're turning 2x-3y=12 into slope intercept form; y=mx+b to graph
2x-3y=12
We want y by itself so subtract both sides by 2x
-3y=-2x+12
Now we divide both sides by -3
y=2/3x-4

Answer 3

Do you understand that?

Answer 4

Yes I think so . So the slope would be 2/3 and the y intercept would be at -4 ?

Answer 5

Exactly. Did you need help graphing, or do you got it from here?

Answer 6

These are the two choices I cannot chose between . They look the same to me .

Answer 7

hmm....They look like the same exact graph to me.

Answer 8

They look the same to me as well . maybe it was a mistake in the test . Thank you for the help !

Answer 9

Those are actually both wrong

Answer 10

The graph should be going the opposite way. Your slope is 2/3, so you would be going up 2 and to the right 3

Answer 11

Do you have that as a choice?

Answer 12

This one ?

Answer 13

That would be it!
