Question 939504: Which of the following statements best describes the graph of 3x - 2y = 4?
It is a straight line joining the points (6, 2), (5, 1), and (7, 3). It is a straight line joining the points (0, -2), (2, 1), and (-2, -5). It is a curve joining the points (3, -2), (2, 3), and (4, 1). It is a curve joining the points (0, 2), (-2, -1), and (4, 1).

Choices mostly convenient because the equation is a LINE, not any other kind of curve, and the three points in each choice share none in common. Pick a point of either item and test in the equation. Either true or false.

(2,1) from the second item,
3*2-2*1=4?
6-2=4 TRUE.

Only possibility: line joining the points (0, -2), (2, 1), and (-2, -5)
