Algebra.Com's Answer #12464 by rapaljer(4671) You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is no equal sign in the second equation, so it can't be graphed. I'll take a guess, but you may need to re-post the question.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x-y = 7 is in standard form, so use the two intercepts method to graph it. \n" ); document.write( "Let x =0, then -y = 7, so y =-7 \n" ); document.write( "Let y =0, then 3x = 7, so x= \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll take a guess that the second equation was supposed to be y =3x - 7. This is in slope-intercept form, so the y-intercept is -7, and the slope is 3/1. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Graph these two lines and it should look like this:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As you can see from this graph, the two lines are actually the same line.
