Question

Select the correct graph of –x – 2y = 6.

Answer 1

The required graph is Graph (IV).

To graph the equation -x - 2y = 6, we can rewrite it in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept:

-x - 2y = 6

First, let's isolate the y-term:

-2y = x + 6

Divide both sides by -2 to solve for y:

y = (-1/2)x - 3

The coefficient of x (-1/2) represents the slope, and the constant term -3 represents the y-intercept.

The correct graph should be a straight line with a slope of -1/2 and passing through the point (0, -3).

Thus, the required graph is Graph (IV).

Answer 2

Left lower one. I'm pretty good at math ,but terrible with English (non-native speaker). Maybe we can exchange our skills: )
