Math Problem Statement

Create a table of values for the linear equations y = 2/3x + 3 and y = -4x + 4, plugging in at least two x-values to check that the graphing is correct.

Solution

To complete the table of values for the given equations, let's substitute various values of xx to find corresponding values of yy for each equation.

Equation 1: y=23x+3y = \frac{2}{3}x + 3

  1. If x=0x = 0: y=23(0)+3=3y = \frac{2}{3}(0) + 3 = 3

  2. If x=3x = 3: y=23(3)+3=2+3=5y = \frac{2}{3}(3) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5

  3. If x=3x = -3: y=23(3)+3=2+3=1y = \frac{2}{3}(-3) + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1

  4. If x=6x = 6: y=23(6)+3=4+3=7y = \frac{2}{3}(6) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

  5. If x=6x = -6: y=23(6)+3=4+3=1y = \frac{2}{3}(-6) + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1

So, the table for y=23x+3y = \frac{2}{3}x + 3 would be:

xxyy
03
35
-31
67
-6-1

Equation 2: y=4x+4y = -4x + 4

  1. If x=0x = 0: y=4(0)+4=4y = -4(0) + 4 = 4

  2. If x=1x = 1: y=4(1)+4=4+4=0y = -4(1) + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0

  3. If x=1x = -1: y=4(1)+4=4+4=8y = -4(-1) + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

  4. If x=2x = 2: y=4(2)+4=8+4=4y = -4(2) + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4

  5. If x=2x = -2: y=4(2)+4=8+4=12y = -4(-2) + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

So, the table for y=4x+4y = -4x + 4 would be:

xxyy
04
10
-18
2-4
-212

Would you like a further breakdown of these calculations or have any questions?

Here are some additional questions to consider:

  1. What are other values of xx you could use to further verify your graph?
  2. How would the slope of y=23x+3y = \frac{2}{3}x + 3 compare to a line with slope 1?
  3. What happens to the yy-intercept if you change the constant term in each equation?
  4. How does the slope of y=4x+4y = -4x + 4 influence the steepness of the line?
  5. What would be the result if the slope in each equation were doubled?

Tip: Always plot at least two points to confirm the correct direction and position of your line on a graph.
