Question

Find three points that solve the equation.

2x-3y=-6

Answer 1

Well, do it. Just pick three.

x = -1
x = 0
x = 1

Find the corresponding value of y for each.

Answer 2

If I knew how to find the answer I would. I have gotten myself so confused at this point.

Answer 3

What are you arguing?

Can you substitute x = 0 into the equation you have provided?

Answer 4

To what I understand, you can substitute it with anything as long as the equation totals the correct number. My problem is finding what those numbers are. Every time I think it's right, I'm told it's wrong.

Answer 5

2x-3y=-6

With two variables, you can pick one to be ANYTHING you want. The other comes from the equation.

Pick x = 0

2(0) - 3y = -6
0 - 3y = -6
-3y = -6
y = 2

There's a point (0,2)

Pick y = 0

2x - 3(0) = -6
2x - 0 = -6
2x = -6
x = -3

There's a point (-3,0)

Really, just pick ONE and solve for the other.

Answer 6

Now THAT makes sense. I will give it another shot. Thank you.
