Subtract X
2y=-x+6
Then divide by 2
Y=-1/2x+3

Answer:

y=-1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

u subtract x first because ur always gonna need it to be "y="

since u subtracted x it'll turn to a negative x, and make sure u always but x before ur other number

when u do that ur equation will look like this 2y=-x+6

after u divide all of them by 2 since it's 2y

3. For the equation-4y = &r, what is the constant of variation? (1 point)<br> ООО<br> 02

Answer:

3).

$- 4y = 8x \\ \frac{y}{x} = \frac{8}{ - 4} \\ \frac{y}{x} = - 2 \\ y = - 2x \\ hence \: constant \: is \: - 2$

4).

$y \alpha x \\ y = kx \\ where \: k \: is \: the \: constant \: of \: proportionality \\ when \: y = 24 \: and \: x = 8 \\ substitute \: in \: y = kx \\ 24 = 8k \\ k = \frac{24}{8} \\ k = 3 \\ value \: of \: constant = 3$

If it was by 10, k = 3 by 10

k = 30

5).

$general \: equation \: of \: line \\ y = mx + c \\ but \: m = \frac{2}{3} \: and \: c = 9 \\ substitute \: for \: m \: and \: c \: in \: y = mx + c \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x + 9 \\ alternatively \\ 3y = 2x + 27$
