Answer:

In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.

Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6

We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"

y = -3/4(0) -6

y=0-6

y=6

So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)

That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.

Which are coplanar and noncolinar?

Paul [167]

Coplanar means "lying on the same plane," while colinear means "lying on the same line." In this problem, all four points A, B, C, and D are coplanar - they all lie on the plane $\mathcal{H}$ - so we just need to find the points that lie on the same line. Though points C and B would be colinear if there was a line drawn between them, there's no such line in this problem, so we can rule that out. We notice one line drawn on the plane, and points A, C, and D lying on it, so we can say that points A, C, and D are both coplanar and colinear.
