Question

=

Answer 1

'Tis not attached yet

Answer 2

Silly me

Answer 3

First, rearrange the equation into the form y=mx+b

Answer 4

Okay

Answer 5

What's y=mx+b?

Answer 6

That is the general form. Compare your equation to it and rearrange so that you have the y, x, and constant(b) where they should be.

Answer 7

Oh okay! 2x-3y=6?

Answer 8

Close. You will need only the y on the left side. The rest are on the right side.

Answer 9

Oh okay! so -3y=2x+6?

Answer 10

Close. But note that you want a positive y.

Answer 11

Oh lol 3y=2x+6?

Answer 12

Um, what did you do to get a positive y? Did you not multiply everything with -1?

Answer 13

WAIT A MINUTE

Answer 14

I have no idea what I am doing :(
So to answer your question, I was playing the guessing game

Answer 15

Daheck did you do lol. Do it step by step please and show me. How do you rearrange the equation?

Answer 16

Hmmmm... I have no idea what I did....

Answer 17

lol

Answer 18

I never really understood how to solve this kind of question :(

Answer 19

Well you want a positive y with no constant. So you move -3y to the right and get:
2x=3y+6
Now you move the six to the left
2x-6=3y
Now divide everything with 3
2/3x-2=y or y=1/3x-2

Now compare to y=mx+b m is the gradient, and b is the y-intercept

Answer 20

Oh okay! that makes sense! Is that like the "isolate the variable" idea?

Answer 21

The what the what? I have no idea. I don't remember names. But can you sketch a graph with that info now?

Answer 22

Lol I always forget names too.
:D
And sure! Hold on

Answer 23

Me and my sloppy handwriting

Answer 24

Mine looks a heck of a lot like the last option

Answer 25

Are you sure that's the x-intercept?

Answer 26

The what?

Answer 27

Oh, that thing we did before?

Answer 28

And thank you for your patients btw

Answer 29

x-intercept. Replace y=0 in the equation we obtained and see what x is.

Answer 30

Oh! I just checked my notes, and it say..
x-intercept = the point where the line crosses the x-axis


Oh and it ended up being 1/3x-2

Answer 31

I'm a pretty slow learner lol

Answer 32

Right, so when the line crosses the x-axis, y should be zero, right? So you replace y with 0 and find x. That is your x-intercept

Answer 33

Oh yeah!!

(x,0)

Answer 34

Now it's starting to make sense lol! :D

Answer 35

the little lightbulb has turned on...

Answer 36

Um, I told you what to do already. Replace y with 0. So you have 1/3x-2=0 Find x

Answer 37

It's sloppy, but it's representing the y=0 and (2,3)

Answer 38

...How did you get (2,3) ?

Answer 39

ignore the old ones, I messed up

Actually, I'll delete them

Answer 40

Um, this might take longer. Can I come back tonight and see if you still need help? I need to finish my homework first

Answer 41

Maybe 1/3x-2
(1/3x-2 , 0)

Answer 42

So shall i plot that?

Answer 43

No... Pixie, look at what I said above.

"Um, I told you what to do already. Replace y with 0. So you have 1/3x-2=0 Find x"

Answer 44

Oh! Find x! Okay! 1/3*6-2

x=6!!!

Answer 45

:D

Answer 46

YES. THANK YOU! Lol. That's not usually how you solve it but ok. So now you know on the y axis the line intercepts at -2, on the x axis it intercepts at 6. Now you can sketch it

Answer 47

So then the answer would be the last graph?

Answer 48

Yes

Answer 49

WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
YOU HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME TEACHER TO ME :D

Answer 50

Lol you're welcome. Glad to help.

Answer 51

Have a BLESSED day!

Answer 52

As soon as SS is fixed, I'm being your fan and writing you a testimonial

Answer 53

Haha thank you. Have a good day yourself and stay warm.

Answer 54

Yes, I'll certainly try to lol
