1/3x + y = 9
y = -1/3x + 9

-2x + 2y = -6
-2x + 2(-1/3x + 9) = -6
-2x - 2/3x + 18 = -6
-6/3x - 2/3x = -6 - 18
-8/3x = -24
x = -24 * -3/8
x = 9 <== here is y

-2x + 2y = -6
-2(9) + 2y = -6
-18 + 2y = -6
2y = -6 + 18
2y = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6 <=== here is x

Which equation best represents the graph above

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is completely vertical there is no slope.

When a line is completely vertical, the setup is x = ___ (fill in the blank with the number that the line intersects on the x axis, in this case -1.)

When a line is completely horizontal (not applicable in this problem) the setup is y = ___ (fill in the blank with the number the line intersects on the y axis.)
