Express x in terms of y , given that 3 x + 4 y = 6. Check whether the point (3,2) is on the given line.

  • -3

To xpress x in terms of y, take all the terms having y and constants on RHS as given below:

3x+ 4y = 6

3x = 6- 4y

x = (6- 4y) / 3

This is the answer...

Now to check whether the point ( 3,2 ) is on the given line, just substitute x=3 and y=2 in LHS in the equation:

= 3x+ 4y 

= 3*3 + 4*2

= 9+8

= 17

But it is not equal to RHS (i.e. 6). Therefore this point do not satisfy the given equation...

Hope it helps.. Gud luck... :))))
