Question

given the geometric representation of 3x+12=0 as an equation
(1) in one variable
(2) in two variables

Answer 1

here is your answer

Answer 2

Answer and explanation:

Given : Geometric equation $3x+12=0$

To find : Represent equation in

(1) in one variable

(2) in two variables

Solution :

In one variable, $3x+12=0$ is a point (-4,0).

In two variables, we have x and y axis.

So, writing equation $3x+12=0$ in terms of x and y.

$3x+12=0$

$0+3x+12=0$

$0y+3x+12=0$ .....(1)

Put y=0 in (1),

$0(0)+3x+12=0$

$3x=-12$

$x=-4$

Put y=1 in (1),

$0(1)+3x+12=0$

$3x=-12$

$x=-4$

So, Points are (-4,0) and (0,-4)

In two variables, $3x+12=0$ is line which is parallel to y-axis.
