Graph the linear equation x-3y=-6

Mathematics

TEA [102]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the easier approaches to graphing a linear equation such as this one is to solve it for y, which gives us both the slope of the line and the y-intercept.

x-3y=-6 → -3y = -x - 6,  or 3y = x + 6.

Dividing both sides by 3, we get   y = (1/3)x + 2.

So the slope of this line is 1/3 and the y-intercept is 2.

Plot a dot at (0, 2).  This is the y-intercept.  Now move your pencil point from that dot 3 spaces to the right and then 1 space up.  Draw a line thru these two dots.  End.

Alternatively, you could use the intercept method.  We have already found that the y-intercept is (0, 2).  To find the x-intercept, let y = 0.  Then x = -6, and the x-intercept is (-6, 0).

Plot both (0, 2) and (-6, 0) and draw a line thru these points.  Same graph.

Answer: Not sure if this is right but here we go.

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for x

x-3y=-6

Add 3y on both sides, and that should give you x=-6+3y

Solve for y:

y=x/3+2

Ad is tangent to circle o at d. find ab. round to the nearest tenth if necessary
Naddik [55]
Check the picture below.

\bf 0=AB^2+6AB-121\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the quadratic formula}}{AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-121)}}{2(1)}}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{520}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{4\cdot 130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm \sqrt{2^2\cdot 130}}{2}\implies AB=\cfrac{-6 \pm 2\sqrt{130}}{2}
\\\\\\
AB=-3\pm\sqrt{130}\implies AB=
\begin{cases}
\boxed{-3+\sqrt{130}}\\\\
-3-\sqrt{130}
\end{cases}

since the distance AB cannot be a negative value, thus is not -3-√(130).
