6x-3y=18 I forgot how to graph :(
so let's solve this firsts for x. 6x−3y=18 Step 1: Add 3y to both sides. 6x−3y+3y=18+3y 6x=3y+18 Step 2: Divide both sides by 6. 6x6=3y+186 x=12y+3 here use this link put your equation there and it will show you how would it lok on the graph https://www.desmos.com/
divide by 6 or multiply?
you lost me on step 2
OOH MY BAD;[ yea oka diviede 6x/6=3y+ WAIT LET ME DRAW THIS
|dw:1454459955318:dw| THEN x=1/2y+3 HERE THAT LOOKS BETTE
AloneS's approach is OK. You may find it easier to graph 6x-3y=18 by using the intercept method. First, let x=0. Then -3y=18 and y= ??? so one point to graph is (0, ? ) Next, let y=0. Then 6x=18. x= ? Then another point to graph is ( ? , 0). Draw a line thru the 2 points.
Whew thanks mr @mathmale your steps are easier!!! :]
so y=-6 and x=2?
Before accepting these results, check them in the original equation. Does the point (0, -6) satisfy the equation? Does (2, 0) satisfy it? If so, your points are correct.
how do i find the slope?
@mathmale
x=3 not 2 my bad
Riley, I'm going to assume that you want the slope of the line you were drawing for this problem. Also, I'm assuming that x=3: (3,0) and that the other point is (0,-6). If these are wrong, change them, please. Steal info from these two points: let x0=3 and y0=0. Let x1=0 and y1=-6. Then the slope you want is found using this equation:\[\frac{ y1-y0 }{ x1-x0 }=m\]
Try this calculation.
