Question

-3x - 2y=6 how would I graph this? Do I solve it first?

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is given as,

`-3x-2y=6`

The objective is to graph the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the degree of the function is 1, the graph of the expression will be a straight line.

To obtain two coordinates to draw a straight line first consider x = 0 in the expression.

`\begin{gathered} -3(0)-2y=6 \\ y=(6)/(-2) \\ y=-3 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the obtained coordinate is (0,-3).

Now, consider y = 0 in the given expression.

`\begin{gathered} -3x-2(0)=6 \\ x=(6)/(-3) \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the obtained coordinate is (-2,0)

To plot the graph:

Thus, the graph of the expression will be,

Hence, the graph of the equation is obtained.
