Algebra practice question
Which of the following equations has the same graph in the xy-plane as 2y = 4x + 6?
- A. y = 2x + 3Correct
- B. y = 4x + 6
- C. y = 4x + 3
- 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.
