Arrange both equations in slope-intercept form. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The first equation is: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtract x from both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The second equation is: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -6 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "By inspection, we know the two lines are not parallel because they do not have the same slope. So they cannot be the same line. We also can tell they are not perpendicular. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The two equations will intersect the points will be the same. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 12 to remove the fractions \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 4x from both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 9 from both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -7 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Graph \n" ); document.write( " |
