Question

find three points that solve the equation then plot them on the graph. x-3y=-6

Answer 1

first get Y by itself....

Answer 2

X-3Y=6
X-6=3Y
X/3-2=Y

Answer 3

how i did that is the equation you gave me is X-3Y=6.

well to get Y by its self the y need to look like this that the end: X-/+M=Y.

the Y also has to be positive. in this case you see that the Y is -3y. that -3y has to become +3y. so to do that you do this:



when you move anything to the opposite side of the = the sign changes.

so now the problem looks like this now: x-6=3y

now you divide like this:

3y/3, x/3, -6/3

then it'll look like this: x/3-2=y

graph that and just find three points
