Question 77484: graph the equation by plotting three points and connecting them.
3x-2y=0..................what do i put in place of the x and y?
Answer by checkley75(3666)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3X-2Y=0
-2Y=-3X
Y=-3X/-2
Y=1.5X
THIS EQUATION REPRESENTS A LINE WITH A SLOPE(m) OF 1.5 & A Y INTERCEPT OF 0. THEREFORE THREE POINTS CAN BE DEFINED AS (0,0) & GRAPHING THIS LINE WE CAN FIND AT LEAST 2 MORE POINTS LIKE SETTING Y=6 WE GET
6=1.5X
X-6/1.5
X=-4 OR (-4,-6) NOW SET X=2 & WE GET
Y=1.5*2
Y=3 OR (2,3)
SO WE HAVE THREE POINTS (0,0), (-4,-6), (2,3)
AND THE GRAPH OF THIS LINE IS:
 (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 1.5x).
