Algebra.Com's Answer #180765 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system of equations by graphing, then classify the system \n" ); document.write( "6x+y=7 \n" ); document.write( "7x+8y=-26 \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "They're 2 linear equations, so their graphs are straight lines. \n" ); document.write( "2 points is sufficient to plot a line. \n" ); document.write( "6x+y=7 \n" ); document.write( "y = 7-6x \n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 values for x and find y \n" ); document.write( "x...y \n" ); document.write( "0...7 --> (0,7) \n" ); document.write( "1...1 --> (1,1) \n" ); document.write( "Plot those 2 points and draw a line thru them. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Do the same for the other eqn. Where they intersect is the solution. \n" ); document.write( "For help or to check your work, email me at \n" ); document.write( "gsihoutx@aol.com \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
