Question

Which equations are equivalent to Y=2/3X-4 when written in slope-intercept form? Check all that apply. A =3X-2Y=4. B=2X-3Y=12. C-4(2X-3Y)=-4(12). D=2(X+6)=3Y. E=2X-3Y=4

Answer 1

B and C

Explanation:

Answer 2

B and C

Explanation:

Rearrange each equation into slope- intercept form

A

3x - 2y = 4 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 2y = - 3x + 4 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y =
`(3)/(2)` x - 2 ← not equivalent

B

2x - 3y = 12 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y =
`(2)/(3)` x - 4 ← equivalent

C

- 4(2x - 3y ) = - 48 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

2x - 3y = 12 ← same as B ⇒ equivalent

D

2(x + 6) = 3y

3y = 2x + 12 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y =
`(2)/(3)` x + 4 ← not equivalent

E

2x - 3y = 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x + 4 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y =
`(2)/(3)` x -
`(4)/(3)` ← not equivalent
