Answer:

x = -6 y = 4

(-6,0) (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = -12

cancel out the y

2x - 3(0) = -12

2x = -12

divide both sides by 2

x = -6

2x - 3y = -12

cancel out the x

2(0) - 3y = -12

-3y = -12

divide both sides by -3

y = 4

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

You can use the intercepts to graph the line. The graph of 2x + 3y = 12 crosses the x-axis at (6, 0), so its x-intercept is 6. The graph of 2x + 3y = 12 crosses the y-axis at (0, 4), so its y-intercept is 4.

True or false: When a figure on a coordinate grid is translated down and to the right, the vertex with the largest y-coordinate

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation down and to the right doesn't change the dimensions of the original figure.

This will change coordinates of each vertex but the highest coordinates of the pre-image and image will correspond to each other.

What are the coordinates of the point that is one half the distance between A(-1, -2) and B(6, 12)?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The coordinates of the point that is one-half the distance between A(-1,-2) and B(6,12) is (2.5,5)

What is the midpoint?

The mid-point lies midway between the two ends. Its x value lies in the middle of the other two x values. Its y value lies in the middle of the other two y values.

Given, $A(6,12) = (x_{1}, y_{1} )$
