Algebra.Com's Answer #164340 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need to graph these equations and determine where they meet. I am stumped \n" ); document.write( "y = 20x + 400 \n" ); document.write( "y = 10x + 600 \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Use a couple of points to graph each equation: \n" ); document.write( "y=20x+400 \n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = 400 giving you point (0,400) \n" ); document.write( "If x = -10, y = 200 giving you point (-10,200) \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "y = 10x + 600 \n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = 600 giving you point (0,600) \n" ); document.write( "If x = -10, y = 500 giving you point (-10,500) \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "If you want to find the intersection of the two lines: \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"y\" and solve for \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "20x + 400 = 10x + 600 \n" ); document.write( "10x = 200 \n" ); document.write( "x = 20 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x and solve for \"y\": \n" ); document.write( "y = 20*20 + 400 \n" ); document.write( "y = 400 + 400 \n" ); document.write( "y = 800 \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
