Chapter 8.2, Problem 42WE

To determine

To find: The graphical representation of the equation $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=12$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The Given Equation is:

  $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=12$

The given equation can be written as:

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=12\\ \frac{2x+3y}{6}=12\\ 2x+3y=72\end{array}$....................(1)

For different values of $x$ , the value of $y$ is determined and graph is plotted as given below:

  .
