Question 243280: solve and determine whether each system has no solution, one solution or an infinite number of solutions show why
y=4x+6
8x-y= -7

y = mx + b is the basic linear equation.
...
EQ 1: y = 4x + 6, which is already in this form.
m = 4, which is the slope
y-intercept = 6
x-intercept = -3/2, which can be demonstrated by 4*(-3/2) + 6 = 0
...
EQ 2: 8x - y = -7, which needs to be shaped up algebraically.
Add y to both sides
8x = -7 + y = y - 7
Add 7 to both sides
8x + 7 = y
y = 8x + 7
m = 8, which is twice a great a slope as EQ 1
y-intercept = 7
x-intercept = -7/8
...
Now graph the two equations.
...
There is one solution, as can be seen in the graph.
...
To demonstrate algebraically there is one solution, recall that equal things are equal. y=y is self-evident, so you can set the two equations equal to one another and solve them.
...
8x + 7 = 4x + 6
Subtract 4x from both sides
4x + 7 = 6
Subtract 7 from both sides
4x = -1
Divide both sides by 4
x = -1/4
So x=-1/4 is the solution (the unique point where the two equations cross).
