Question

3x+2y=5 from.a given equation, find two points that will satisfy the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

(0,2.5) and (1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3x + 2y = 5$

Required

Determine the points that satisfy the equation

To do this, we substitute values for x and y in the equation.

Let x = 1

Substitute 1 for x in $3x + 2y = 5$

$3(1) + 2y = 5$

$3 + 2y = 5$

Make 2y the subject

$2y = 5 - 3$

$2y = 2$

Solve for y

$y = 1$

Hence, a point is: (1,1)

To determine another point, take x as 0

Substitute 0 for x in $3x + 2y = 5$

$3(0) + 2y = 5$

$0 + 2y = 5$

$2y = 5$

Solve for y

$y = \frac{5}{2}$

$y = 2.5$

Hence, another point is (0,2.5)
