Input–output table
x y 0 -6 2 -6 5 -6 Jun graphs the line y = -6. Where does the line cross the x-axis?
- At (0, 0), because the line passes through the origin of the grid
- Never: it is horizontal, so it runs parallel to the x-axis
- At (-6, 0)
Luz graphs the line y = 2. Where does the line cross the x-axis?
- Never: it is horizontal, so it runs parallel to the x-axis
- At (0, 0)
- At (2, 0), since the number in the equation is the x-coordinate
? | 0 and 0 | ?. The line is 2x + 7y = 42. Ari draws the line 2x + 7y = 42 and the two axes make a right triangle. What is the area of the triangle, in square units?
4 | 0 and 0 | 6. Ren's line crosses the x-axis at (4, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 6). What is its equation, as Ax + By = C with whole numbers and no common factor?
5 | 0 and 0 | 3. Kira's line crosses the x-axis at (5, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 3). What is its equation, as Ax + By = C with whole numbers and no common factor?
8 | 0 and 0 | 2. Zee's line crosses the x-axis at (8, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 2). What is its equation, as Ax + By = C with whole numbers and no common factor?
3 | 0 and 0 | 9. Milo's line crosses the x-axis at (3, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 9). What is its equation, as Ax + By = C with whole numbers and no common factor?
