State whether every point on the graph is a solution of the equation. Explain why or why not. 3x – 2y = –6 A. Every point shown on the graph is a solution of the equation because when the coordinates of the points are substituted into the equation, the equation is true for all the points. B. Every point shown on the graph is not a solution of the equation because when the coordinates of the points are substituted into the equation, the equation is not true for all the points. https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/713500_714000/713723/3/a57725e736dd7d9bc694286

will give a medal and be a fan

OpenStudy (lynfran):

the link doesnt opens it gives error

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

there

OpenStudy (lynfran):

ok

OpenStudy (lynfran):

the points on the graph are (-4,-2) (-2,0) (0,3) (2,5)

OpenStudy (jtug6):

Appears like B is the answer. Atleast when x = -4, 2 it doesnt appear to be true

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

can i ask you some more questions

OpenStudy (jtug6):

Try it yourself though. Isolate the y variable using algebra then plug in -4 and 2 and see if it spits the same y-value as whats on the graph.

OpenStudy (jtug6):

Sure why not

OpenStudy (lynfran):

we solve for y 3x-2y=-6 3x+6=2y 3/2x+3=y we now use each of the given points provided the x coordinate and see if we get back the corresponding y coordinate. so (-4,-2) 3/2(-4)+3=y -6+3=y -3=y so with this first proving false then every point shown on the graph is not a solution

OpenStudy (jtug6):

Well if you try x = -2 and x = 0 it gives the correct y-value as shown on the graph, or at least for me. Maybe I might've done something wrong :p but if (-2, 0) is a point y = 3/2(-2) + 3 = 0 so that point is correct and same goes for x = 0
