Choose the graph below that correctly represents the equation 2x + 4y = 24.

Option 1 st is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

       .....[1]

To graph this equation.

Find intercept for this equation:

x-intercept:

The line that crosses the x-axis.

Substitute y=0  in [1] and solve for x.

then;

⇒

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

x-intercept = (12, 0)

y-intercept:

The line crosses the y-axis.

Substitute x = 0 in [1] and solve for y.

⇒

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

y-intercept = (0, 8)

Using intercepts point:

we plot the given line as shown below.

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
