Question

Graph the following line by plotting the x and y intercepts: 6x – 4y = -8

Answer 1

your first step is to convert this into y = mx +b form.

Answer 2

do that by first subtracting the 6x on both sides so that your equation is now -4y = -6x -8

Answer 3

and, word of advice here, i would multiply both sides of your equation by negative 1 now so that you have 4y = 6x + 8. just because positive numbers are generally easier to solve with

Answer 4

so how would i graph it then?

Answer 5

now divide both sides of your equation by 4 so that you make the y be on its own. your equation should by y = 3/2x + 2

Answer 6

^^ is in y = mx + b form. when in this form, your b is your y - intercept

Answer 7

so your y is (0, 2)

Answer 8

ok so are there any negatives in it?

Answer 9

yes, the x will be negative and i will show you why

Answer 10

(-1,0) right

Answer 11

ok got it thx

Answer 12

sorry, it isnt (-1, 0)

Answer 13

(-1,0) is x

Answer 14

no, sorry because your next point is (-2, -1)

Answer 15

down 3, over 2

Answer 16

i got it correct y=(0,2) and x=(-1,0)

Answer 17

yah down 3 which takes you to 0 the over to left 1

Answer 18

i got something different, i ended up getting -4/3 as my x

Answer 19

which is -1

Answer 20

oh well it was -1,0 XD thx for the help man

Answer 21

sure thing
