Question

Express y in terms of x from the equation 3x + 2y = 8 and check whether the point (4, –2) lies onthe line.

Answer 1

y = 8-3x/2
when 2X is subtracted from 8 ,the remaining is 2Y .when we divide 2y by 2 we get the value of Y

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=8

So therefore

y=(8-3x)/2

Here when we take x=2

y=8-3(2)/2

y=2/2

y=1

And when we take x=0

y=8-3(0)/2

y=8/2=4

So the line will look like the one in the picture below

Here There is an approximate graph in the picture because I made it by hand

See that the line is straight i.e the point (4,-2) is on the line with the equation given
