Math Problem Statement

The grid shows a straight line, and the user is asked to identify its equation, complete a table for another equation, and draw the corresponding line.

Solution

Let’s solve the problem step-by-step:


(a) Draw a ring around the equation of the line.

The line on the grid has a slope of 2, and it passes through the point (0,2)(0, -2) (the yy-intercept). This matches the equation y=2x2y = 2x - 2.

The correct answer is: y=2x2y = 2x - 2


(b) A different equation is 2x+y=42x + y = 4. Complete the table of values.

We rearrange the equation 2x+y=42x + y = 4 to express yy in terms of xx: y=42xy = 4 - 2x

Now substitute the given xx-values into the equation y=42xy = 4 - 2x:

  1. When x=0x = 0:
    y=42(0)=4y = 4 - 2(0) = 4

  2. When x=3x = 3:
    y=42(3)=2y = 4 - 2(3) = -2

The completed table is:

xxyy
04
3-2

(c) Draw the line 2x+y=42x + y = 4 on the same grid.

Using the table of values:

  1. Plot the point (0,4)(0, 4).
  2. Plot the point (3,2)(3, -2).
  3. Draw a straight line passing through these points.
