Can u explain the graph?
How does the line cross from the point y -3 to x 2
Answer provided by our tutors
The line goes through the points (0, -3) because if you plug x = 0 into x - 2y = 6 and solve for y, you will get y = -3:
0 - 2y = 6
-2y = 6 multiply both sides by -1
2y = -6 divide both sides by 2
y = -6/2
y = -3
So, one point from the line is (0, -3).
Another point you can get if you plug x = 2 into x - 2y = 6 and solve for y:
2 - 2y = 6
-2y = 6 - 2
- 2y = 4 divide both sides by -2
y = 4/(-2)
y = -2
Second point from the line is (2, -2)
