What is the solution of y=2x+6

Answer 1

A solution can be found using three different methods. The third may be the easiest you decide. :-)

Method 1: Graph it in a coordinate plane, any point one the line is a solution.

Method 2: Plug in zero and find the x and y intercepts

Y=2X +6

Plug in zero for y

0 = 2X + 6

-6 -6

-6 = 2X

/2 /2

-3 = x. The ordered pair (-3, 0) is one of many solutions for this line

Y= 2X + 6

Plug in zero x to find y intercept

Y = 2(0) + 6

Y = 6. The ordered pair (0,6) is another of many solutions

A third strategy is plug in play:

Chouse a number and plug it in. I choose 1 for x

Y = 2(1) + 6

Y = 8. The ordered pair (1,8) is a solution

There is one more strategy but I won't overwhelm you :-)
