PLEASE HELP!!!
Create your own equation written in standard form.
Determine any point that is a solution and will be on this line. Justify your answer algebraically.

Have you made up an equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
6x + 2y = 125

@terenzreignz
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
Okay. Now all we have to do is identify a point on your line.
Any point will do.
First step here is pick a value for either x or y.
Any value will do, although, do have mercy on yourself, and pick a rather simple value.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how about 2 for x?

What do I do now?
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
Replace x with 2.
What becomes of the equation.
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6(2) +2y = 125?
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
Yup.
Now just solve for y.

So would the final answer be 56.5?
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
Peronally, I prefer \(\Large \frac{113}{2}\)
But yeah, basically, yes :D
So that means the point
\[\Large \left(2,\frac{113}2\right)\] is a point on your line.

*Personally

Thanks :)
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
By the way, to justify algebraically, just replace x with 2 and y with 56.5 in your made-up equation and show that it does indeed turn into 125.
kthxbye XD
