how do you do linear functions?...for ex.xy=6..whats the answer?
xy = 6.
x = 6/y.
y = 6/x.
To solve a linear function like xy = 6, you need to find the value of x and y that make the equation true. In this case, you are given the equation xy = 6.
To find the answer, you can choose different values for one of the variables and then solve for the other variable. Let's choose a value for x:
1. Let's start with x = 1. Substitute x = 1 into the equation:
(1)y = 6
y = 6
Therefore, when x = 1, y = 6.
2. Now let's try another value, x = 2:
(2)y = 6
y = 6/2
y = 3
So, when x = 2, y = 3.
You can go on and test more values for x to find different pairs of x and y that satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the possible solutions for xy = 6 are (1, 6) and (2, 3).
