Question

How do you graph `4x + 2y =6` using a table of values?

Answer 1

Look below I tried

Explanation:

Ok so what this table is telling you is literally just to pick and choose values. Your calculator can do this for you btw. I'll teach you both.
First you have to make a table like shown above, label your `x` values and `y`.
Once you have you values start plugging them into you equation
If I were to pick `0` for `x` the equation would be this:
`4(0)+2y=6`
Which comes out to `y=3`
With that you can come up with coordinates and your accurecy is dependent on how many times you plug numbers into the equation. Once you get your `x` and `y` coordinates you can make a plot `(x,y)` or `(0,3)`

CALCULATOR WAY:
Now I clearly do not know the calculator you have, that would be weird if I did. However, I do know how to use them.
On most calculators there is a button that says `y=` which you need to hit.
After that there will be a section that says either `y=` or `y1=` or something like that.
Once you get to that, you need to manipulate your eqution to equal `y`.
For you equation the thing you would type in is `y=-2x+3` because you have to subtract the `4x` over and divide everything by `2` to make the `y` alone. Once you plug that into you caluculator there should be a section that says TABLE
On a graphing calculator you have to hit SECOND and than hit `graph` to get to the table.
If you need extra help go to the `tbl set` area on a grahping calculator and make sure the independent and `dependent` buttons highlight AUTO
Hope this helped!!!
