2 x + y equals negative 9
1 answer:
Answer:
The given equation which is in two variable is
⇒2 x + y =9
As we know that to get a unique solution you need two intersecting lines.
But here only one line is given.
On a single line there lie infinite number of points.
So, for different values of x we get different values of y or different values of y we get different values of x.
So , we can write the above equation as
either ⇒y=9-2 x Or x=9-2 y
I have drawn graph for you.
Thus , there are infinite number of solution of this equation. Like (0,9),(1,7),(2,5),(-2,13),(-1,11),(-3,15)......

Answer: Choice B
(-1,0), (-1,-2), (-3, -1), and (-3, -2)
============================================================
Explanation:
Let's focus on the point (2,0)
If we shift it 3 units to the left, then we subtract 3 from the x coordinate to get 2-3 = -1 as its new x coordinate. The y coordinate stays the same.
That means we move from (2,0) to (-1,0)
Based on this alone, choice B must be the answer as it's the only answer choice that mentions (-1,0).
If you shifted the other given points, you should find that they land on other coordinates mentioned in choice B.
