Question

Can Someone Tell Me if I Got Think Right? il Metal!
Choose the graph below that correctly represents the equation 3x - 4y = 12.

Answer 1

i chose the third on down cx

Answer 2

convert the equation to slope intercept form

Answer 3

i did everything already i just wanted to know if i graphed it right

Answer 4

it think its this one but i want to make sure

Answer 5

The correct answer is the fourth graph. Slope = 3/4; y-intercept = -3.

Answer 6

no the equation of the line is y=3/4x-3

Answer 7

im confused /:

Answer 8

@ganeshie8 could u help?

Answer 9

3x - 4y = 12
4y = 3x - 12
y = (3/4)x - 3

Answer 10

i need help graphing.! not all of this ;-;

Answer 11

@johnweldon1993 can you save me ?

Answer 12

The slope is 3/4 and the y intercept is (0,-3)
NOW GRAPH IT
YOU NEED THE EQUATION TO GRAPH

Answer 13

please do yell at me again, i asked for help, not for you to be a douche. k? thanks

Answer 14

what? i am not yelling
i am just saying that you cant just graph an equation in standard form so appreciate @shiraz14 's work

Answer 15

Alright so yeah

3x - 4y = 12

We need to represent this in terms of y.

we want y = something...so subtract 3x from both sides...

-4y = -3x + 12

and divide both sides by -4

y = (3/4)x - 3

So since this is in slope intercept form (y = mx + b) in THAT equation....'m' represents the slope of the graph...and 'b' represents the y-intercept (where the graph passes through the y-axis)

So match that with your equation

y = mx + b
y = (3/4)x - 3

Looks like the slope = (3/4) and the y-intercept = -3

So we will have a graph that starts...



There

The graph you chose...had the y-intercept at y = 3....not y = -3....

see where I'm getting that? @Courtneydyrdek98

Answer 16

i hate math lol XD

Answer 17

And now...since the slope is \(\large \frac{3}{4}\) we know that slope= \(\large \frac{rise}{run}\) so you would go up 3 units.....and then to the right 4 units...

Looks like graph D would be correct

Answer 18

i have a question not having to deal with this

Answer 19

Shoot :)

Answer 20

this is a undefined slope right?

Answer 21

Correct...a vertical line has an infinite slope...thus undefined

Answer 22

thank youu <3

Answer 23

Anytime :)
