Question

help me graph a line? medal

Answer 1

algebra 3x-y=6

Answer 2

subtract 3x from both sides you have -y=-3x+6

Answer 3

then just divide out the negative

Answer 4

when you subtract you get -y=-x+3?

Answer 5

when you subtract 3x you move it to the right

Answer 6

oh okay

Answer 7

3x - 2y = 6

They want you to graph this line. But first you need to convert this equation into slope intercept form.

Slope Intercept Form: y = mx + b

3x - 2y = 6

Subtract 3x from both sides

-2y = -3x + 6

Divide both sides by -2

y = 3/2x - 3

Answer 8

you subtract from both sides so subtracting -3x from the left leaves you -y and subtracting from the right leave you 6-3x

Answer 9

oh okay thank you. you guys are life savers.

Answer 10

@michaelvelarde you are forgetting -2y

Answer 11

oops didnt notice it was -2y

Answer 12

yeah subtracting 3x from 3x-2y leaves -2y and makes the right 6-3x

Answer 13

y = 3/2x - 3 would be the correct form. Use this to graph the line

Slope = 3/2

y-intercept = -3

If you need help graphing, let me know :P

Answer 14

is this correct?

Answer 15

Yes, that's correct

Answer 16

@michaelvelarde

-3/2x is no longer negative. When you divided -3x by -2, the negatives cancelled out and it converted to a positive. Also you forgot to add the x.

Answer 17

All you have to remember for this type of lesson is the formula, y = mx + b, and know what each part of the equation means.

y = any y point

m = slope

x = any x point

b = the y intercept

Just convert the given equations into the y-intercept form and graph c;

Answer 18

thank you that was helpful. (:

Answer 19

No problem :) Glad I could help!
