Question

1. Refer to the equation 2x - 4y = 12

Answer 1

The coordinate pair can be obtained from the given equation by

rearranging the equation to make y the subject of the equation

• The table of values obtained from the given equation is presented as follows;

• $\begin{array}{|c|cr|} \mathbf{x}&&\mathbf{y}\\0&&-3\\1&&-2.5\\2&&-2\\3&&-1.5\\4&&-1\end{array}\right]$

• The graph showing the points in the above table is attached

Reason:

The given equation is presented as follows;

2·x - 4·y = 12

(a) The values are found by making either x, or y the subject of the

formula, and inputting values as follows;

2·x - 4·y = 12

= 4·y

4·y = 2·x - 12

$\dfrac{4\cdot y}{4} = \dfrac{2 \cdot x - 12}{4}$

The rearranged equation is therefore

• $y = \dfrac{x }{2} - 3$

Plugging in values of x, (0, 1, 2, 3) to find the corresponding y-values gives;

x = 0

• $y = \dfrac{0 }{2} - 3 = -3$

• x = 1

• $y = \dfrac{1 }{2} - 3 = -2 \dfrac{1 }{2}$

• x = 2

• $y = \dfrac{2 }{2} - 3 = -2$

x = 3

• $y = \dfrac{3}{2} - 3 = -\dfrac{3}{2} = -1.5$

x = 4

• $y = \dfrac{4}{2} - 3 = -1$

The table of values is therefore;

$\begin{array}{|c|cr|} \mathbf{x}&&\mathbf{y}\\0&&-3\\1&&-2.5\\2&&-2\\3&&-1.5\\4&&-1\end{array}\right]$

The graph of the points can be plotted using MS Excel as presented here
