Hi

2x - 3y = 6
-3y = -2x + 6
y = -2x/-3 + 6/-3
y = 2x/3 - 2

For x=-1/2

y = 2(-1/2)/3 - 2
y = -1/3 - 2
y = (-1-6)/3
y = -7/3

2(-1/2) = -2/2 = -1
2(-1/2)/3 = -1/3

Answer: -7/3

Answer:

A. [tex]-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the point [tex](-\frac{1}{2},y)[/tex] lies on the line whose equation is [tex]2x-3y=6[/tex]. We are asked to find the value of y.

To find the value of y, we will substitute [tex]x=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in our given equation as:

[tex]2(-\frac{1}{2})-3y=6[/tex]

[tex]-1-3y=6[/tex]

[tex]-1+1-3y=6+1[/tex]

[tex]-3y=7[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{7}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]y=-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of y is [tex]-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
