You first should isolate the "y" in the equation.

3x - 2y = 6 Subtract 3x on both sides

3x - 3x - 2y = 6 - 3x

-2y = 6 - 3x Divide -2 on both sides to get "y" by itself

$y = \frac{6-3x}{-2}$

$y = -3 + \frac{3}{2} x$

This equation is:

y = mx + b

"m" being the slope, "b" being the y-intercept (when x = 0)

The y-intercept is -3 in the equation. So you can eliminate choices A and C.

You can plug in any of the numbers of x(-2 , -1 , 0, 1, 2) into this equation, to find it's y value.

You can plug in 1 for x:

y = -3 + $\frac{3}{2} x$

y = -3 + $\frac{3}{2} (1)$

y = -3 + $\frac{3}{2}$ Make the denominators the same

$y = \frac{-6}{2} +\frac{3}{2} = \frac{-3}{2}$

Your answer is B

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point ( -1 , -2 ) and is perpendicular to the l

mamaluj [8]

The equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point ( -1 , -2 ) and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y = − 5 is $y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}$

Solution:

The slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ----- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that the line that passes through the point ( -1 , -2 ) and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y = − 5

Given line is perpendicular to − 4 x − 3 y = − 5

− 4 x − 3 y = − 5

-3y = 4x - 5

3y = -4x + 5

$y = \frac{-4x}{3} + \frac{5}{3}$

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1, we get,

$m = \frac{-4}{3}$

We know that product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to it is -1

$\frac{-4}{3} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it}= -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it} = \frac{3}{4}$

Given point is (-1, -2)

Now we have to find the equation of line passing through (-1, -2) with slope $m = \frac{3}{4}$

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, -2) and m = 3/4 in eqn 1

$-2 = \frac{3}{4}(-1) + c\\\\-2 = \frac{-3}{4} + c\\\\c = - 2 + \frac{3}{4}\\\\c = \frac{-5}{4}$

$\text{ substitute } c = \frac{-5}{4} \text{ and } m = \frac{3}{4} \text{ in eqn 1}$

$y = \frac{3}{4} \times x + \frac{-5}{4}\\\\y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}$

Thus the required equation of line is found

ISTEP IS COMING UP AND IM NOT READY!!!

> and < with the lines under it mean that they can also be equal to the constant on the other side (greater/less than or equal to)

So x <= 3 can be anything less than 3 and 3.

*the = in this inequality is the equivalent of a line

Now vice versa.

x => 3 can be anything greater than 3 and 3.

Now for the dots.

The open dots in signs are (< and >).

Basically they start at that point they are on but don't include it.

So an open dot at 3 pointing to the left means that the value is greater than 3 but does not include 3.

The closed dots in signs are (<= and =>).

They start at the point and include it.

So a closed dot a 3 pointing to the left means that the value is greater than 3 and includes 3.

Arrows.

Arrows pointing to the left mean that the values are getting bigger.

Arrows pointing to the right mean that the values are getting smaller.

ie : An arrow pointing to the left with a starting point at 3 = 3 and anything bigger, such as 4.

ie : An arrow pointing to the right with a starting point at 3 = 3 and anything smaller, such as 2.

Solve for problems.

The main concept is isolate the variable.

This basically means make the variable be lonely ^^

Use +, -, *, and /

Ex : 6x + 2 > 3

First, we would subtract 2 from both sides.

6x > 1

Then, we would divide each side by 6, leaving the x alone.

x > 1/6

And voila! x is anything greater than 1/6 but it does not include 1/6.

Hope this helps! ^^
