Question

Complete the following table to draw the graph of 2x – 6y = 3:

x	−5	`square`
y	`square`	0
(x, y)	`square`	`square`

Answer 1

x	−5	`bb(3/2)`
y	`bb(-13/6)`	0
(x, y)	`bb(-5, -13/6)`	`bb(3/2, 0)`

Explanation:

Given 2x − by = 3

for x = −5

2 (−5) − by = 3

−10 − by = 3

6y = −13y

= `−13/6`

for y = 0

2x − 0 = 3

2x = 3

x = `3/2`
