Math Problem Statement

graph the equation 2x+3y=6

Solution

Here is the graph of the equation 2x+3y=62x + 3y = 6. The line crosses the y-axis at y=2y = 2 and the x-axis at x=3x = 3, consistent with the slope-intercept form we derived earlier.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. How do you determine the slope and intercept from a standard form equation like Ax+By=CAx + By = C?
  2. What is the meaning of the slope 23-\frac{2}{3} in the context of this graph?
  3. How would the graph change if the equation were 2x+3y=92x + 3y = 9 instead?
  4. Can you find the distance between the x- and y-intercepts?
  5. How would you graph an equation with a vertical or horizontal line?

Tip: The slope represents the steepness of the line and can be interpreted as "rise over run." A negative slope means the line is decreasing.
