I have to solve by graphing 7x- 3y = 1 and 2y = 5x.
\n" ); document.write( "Put both equations into the slope/intercept format
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 3y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "-3y = -7x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Y has to be positive, multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 7x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"7%2F3\"x - \"1%2F3\"; the slope/intercept form (Red)
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides y 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"5%2F2\"x
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2.5x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Plot these equations from x=-3, to x=+1
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"7%2F3\"x - \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "replace x with -3
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"7%2F3\"(-3) - \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7 - \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7\"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = - 7.33
\n" ); document.write( "do the same for x = -2, x = 0, and x = +1
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "-3 |-7.333
\n" ); document.write( "-2 |-5
\n" ); document.write( " 0 |-.333
\n" ); document.write( "+1 |+2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Do the same for y = 2.5x (green)
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "-3 |-7.5
\n" ); document.write( "-2 |-5
\n" ); document.write( " 0 | 0
\n" ); document.write( "+1 |2.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You should note that where x=-2, y = -5 in both equation so this is the solution
\n" ); document.write( "-2,-5, this should be the intersection of the graph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Graph this with these points, intersection is not easy to see but should look like this
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-4%2C+2%2C+-7%2C+4%2C+2.33x-.333%2C+2.5x%29+\"
