Question

Which is the equation of the same line as y=3x-8

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line given in the question is

y = 3 x - 8

Now compare this line with the standard equation of a straight line.

the standard equation of a straight line is given by

y = mx + c

where, m is the slope and c be the y intersept

So, by comparing, the slope of given line is 3 and the y intersept is -8.

The equation of line which is similar to the given equation an be obtained by multiplying the given equation by a number or by dividing the given equation by a number.

thus, the equations of line which are similar to given equation are :

2y = 6x - 16

3y = 9x - 24

4y = 12x - 32, etc.

Answer 2

To find an equation that is equivalent, or the same as, you can multiply or divide all the terms in the equation by the same thing. 

For example, you could multiply all the terms by 2 and get a different equation that is still equivalent.

Here's one:

2y=6x-16<span />
