Algebra practice question

Which of the following equations has the same graph in the xy-plane as 2y = 4x + 6?

  1. A. y = 2x + 3Correct
  2. B. y = 4x + 6
  3. C. y = 4x + 3
  4. D. y = 2x + 6

Answer: A. y = 2x + 3

Divide every term by 2: y = 2x + 3.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. y = 4x + 6
The division by 2 was skipped.
C. y = 4x + 3
Only the constant was halved.
D. y = 2x + 6
Only the x-term was halved.
