Which graph corresponds to the following equations?
To solve this problem, let's rewrite each equation in the slope-intercept form.
First, simplify this equation:
Dividing the entire equation by 6 gives:
Rearranging this equation to solve for :
The slope of this line is , and the y-intercept is .
Simplify this equation:
This simplifies to:
Multiply through by 3 to solve for :
Thus, is a vertical line through .
Now, comparing against the choices, while analyzing the slopes and intercepts:
The correct graph corresponds to lines: and .
In the provided options, Choice 1 matches this description, as it contains a line with slope and another vertical line.
Therefore, the graph corresponding to the given equations is Choice 1.
Which graph corresponds to the following equations?
\( 3(2x-4y)=12 \)\( \)
\( \frac{x+y}{3}-\frac{y}{3}=7 \)
When you simplify and get x equals a constant (like ), that's always a vertical line! The y-value can be anything, but x stays the same.
When you have , you can separate it: . The y-terms cancel out completely, leaving just !
A slope of means the line goes up 1 unit for every 2 units right. Look for a line that rises gently - not too steep, not horizontal.
Take your time with each step! Write out every step clearly: distribute first, then combine like terms, then isolate the variable. Check your work by substituting a point back into the original equation.
For this problem, you just need to identify the correct graph. But if you wanted the intersection, substitute into to get the point (21, 9.5).
