4y+12=0 How do I get the two points to be graphed

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 .

ladessa [460]

Answer:

1/8 of the number of students

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/8 + 1/6 =

= 6/24 + 8/24 + 3/24 + 4/24

= 21/24

= 7/8

7/8 of the class chose drinks.

1 - 7/8 = 8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8

That means that 1/8 did not have a drink.

Since we don't know the number of students in her class, we cannot tell the number of students who did not have a drink, but we do know it is 1/8 of the number of students.

malfutka [58]
Terms from greatest to least:

1. 4x3 + 3x2 - x - 4 has four terms

2. 18x2 + 5ab - 6y has three terms

3. X + 2xyz has two terms

4. 9x2yz has one term

Which of the following represents the factorization of the polynomial below ?
Ugo [173]

2x² + 13x + 15


First you multiply the first and last number, 2 · 15 = 30

Now you need to find the factors of 30 that add or subtract to +13(I added the plus sign to indicate that the factors that add/subtract to 13 must come out as positive 13)


Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 [1 · 30, 2 · 15, 3 · 10, 5 · 6]

You can do either 15 and 2 because 15 - 2 = 13, or 3 and 10 because 3 + 10 = 13.

I will be doing 10 and 3


2x² + 13x + 15    Instead of 13x, you can replace it with 3x and 10x because when you add it together it is 13x


2x² + 3x + 10x + 15   Now you can factor them out separately

x(2x + 3) + 5(2x + 3) You can factor out (2x + 3) from x and 5 to get:

(2x + 3)(x + 5)
