In the following exercises, graph by plotting points.
$3 x - 2 y = 6$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph of the equation is

Step by step solution

. Given information

Equation to be plotted is

$3 x - 2 y = 6$

it can be rewritten as

$3 x = 6 + 2 y 2 y = 3 x - 6 y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{6}{2} y = \frac{3}{2} x - 3$

Step 2. To find three points whose coordinates are solution to the equation

When $x = 0$

localid="1645013987425" $y = \frac{3}{2} \times 0 - 3 y = 0 - 3 y = - 3$

When $x = 2$

$y = \frac{3}{2} \times 2 - 3 y = 3 - 3 y = 0$

When $x = - 2$

localid="1645013991475" $y = \frac{3}{2} (- 2) - 3 y = - 3 - 3 y = - 6$

Now arrange these points in a table

x	y	(x,y)
0	3	(0,3)
2	0	(2,0)
-2	6	(-2,6)

Step 3. Plot these points in a rectangular coordinate system

points(0,3), (2,0) and (-2,6) are plotted as

Step 4. Draw the line through three points and extend the line.

The line is the graph of the equation
