Did somebody say you're supposed to draw the graph of the equation ?
Is that the assignment ?
OK. Just like every other equation you need to graph, get it in the
standard form, where 'y' is all alone on one side, and everything else
is on the other side. When you do that, you'll be able to spot the slope
and y-intercept of the line, or get some points, or whatever you want.
4y + 12 = 0
Subtract 12 from each side: 4y = -12
Divide each side by 4: y = -3
There's the equation you can handle.
The y-intercept is -3, and the slope is zero.
Would you like some points ? OK. Pick a couple of values for 'x',
and calculate the value of 'y' for each one:
The first value I picked for 'x': x = 72
The equation is y=-3, so when x=72, y=-3. The point is (72, -3)
The second value I picked for 'x' is: x = 1
The equation is y=-3, so when x=1, y=-3. The second point is (1, -3).
The third value I picked for 'x' is 4 billion.
The equation is y=-3, so when x=4 billion, y=-3. The third point is (1, -3).
Do you see what's going on here ? Your original equation didn't even
have 'x' in it, so we could tell right away that when the graph is drawn,
the value of 'y' at every point can't depend on 'x'.
When we simplified the equation and got it in standard form, we found that
the slope of the graph is zero. That means the graph doesn't rise or fall ...
it's just a horizontal line. Sure enough, the height of points on the line
doesn't depend on 'x'. The value of 'y' at every point on the line is -3 .
Answer:
<em>Option C; 3x - y = -27 and x + 2y = 16</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let us consider the equation 21x - y = 9. In this case it would be best to keep the equation in this form, in order to find the x and y intercept. Let us first find to y - intercept, for the simplicity ⇒ 21 * ( 0 ) - y = 9 ⇒ y = - 9 when x = 0. Now if we take a look at the first plot of line q, we can see that the x value is -9 rather than the y value, so this equation doesn't match that of line q. This would eliminate the first two options being a possibility.
2. Now let us consider the equation 3x - y = -27. Let us consider the x-intercept in this case. That being said, ⇒ 3x - ( 0 ) = -27 ⇒ 3x = -27 ⇒ x = -9 when y = 0. As we can see, this coordinate matches with one of the coordinates of line q, which might mean that the second equation could match with the equation for line v.
3. To see whether Option 3 is applicable, we must take a look at the 2nd equation x + 2y = 16. Let us calculate the y - intercept here: ( 0 ) + 2y = 16 ⇒ 2y = 16 ⇒ y = 8 when x = 0. Here we can see that this coordinate matches with that of the second coordinate provided as one of the points in line v. That means that ~ <em>Answer: Option C</em>
