Graph 3x+2y=6 y=-5/2x+1

$3 x + 2 y = 6$ $y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 1$

Step 1

Graph $3 x + 2 y = 6$ .

Solve for $y$ .

Subtract $3 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 y = 6 - 3 x$

Divide each term in $2 y = 6 - 3 x$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 y = 6 - 3 x$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 y}{2} = \frac{6}{2} + \frac{- 3 x}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 y}{2} = \frac{6}{2} + \frac{- 3 x}{2}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{6}{2} + \frac{- 3 x}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $6$ by $2$ .

$y = 3 + \frac{- 3 x}{2}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = 3 - \frac{3 x}{2}$

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Reorder $3$ and $- \frac{3 x}{2}$ .

$y = - \frac{3 x}{2} + 3$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{3}{2} x) + 3$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{3}{2} x + 3$

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - \frac{3}{2}$

$b = 3$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- \frac{3}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 3)$

Slope: $- \frac{3}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 3)$

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two $x$ values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding $y$ values.

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder $3$ and $- \frac{3 x}{2}$ .

$y = - \frac{3 x}{2} + 3$

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{3}{2} x) + 3$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{3}{2} x + 3$

Create a table of the $x$ and $y$ values.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 \end{array}$

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

Slope: $- \frac{3}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 3)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 \end{array}$

Slope: $- \frac{3}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 3)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 \end{array}$

Step 2

Graph $y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 1$ .

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{5}{2} x) + 1$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 1$

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - \frac{5}{2}$

$b = 1$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- \frac{5}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 1)$

Slope: $- \frac{5}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 1)$

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two $x$ values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding $y$ values.

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder terms.

$y = - (\frac{5}{2} x) + 1$

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 1$

Create a table of the $x$ and $y$ values.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & - 4 \end{array}$

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

Slope: $- \frac{5}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 1)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & - 4 \end{array}$

Slope: $- \frac{5}{2}$

y-intercept: $(0, 1)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & - 4 \end{array}$

Step 3

Plot each graph on the same coordinate system.

$3 x + 2 y = 6$

$y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 1$

Step 4
