Question 163865: Graph each equation plot at least 5 points
x-2y=6
Answer by orca(409)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solving for x, we have
x = 2y + 6
To find 5 points on the line, let y = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, calculate their corresponding x values.
Substituting y = -2 into x = 2y + 6 to find the x value: x = 2*(-2) + 6 = 2.
Substituting y = -1 into x = 2y + 6 to find the x value: x = 2*(-1) + 6 = 4.
Substituting y = 0 into x = 2y + 6 to find the x value: x = 2*0 + 6 = 6.
Substituting y = 1 into x = 2y + 6 to find the x value: x = 2*1 + 6 = 8.
Substituting y = 2 into x = 2y + 6 to find the x value: x = 2*2 + 6 = 10.
So the five points are:
(2, -2)
(4, -1)
(6, 0)
(8, 1)
(10, 2)
Plot the points and draw a line passing through the points, we have:
