Algebra.Com's Answer #512858 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve each system by graphing . \n" ); document.write( "Y = -x + 1 \n" ); document.write( "Y= -4x - 2 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "If you wish to simplify by dividing by 2, you must divide y by 2 also, but in this case you would not do it. You want y to have a coefficient of 1 \n" ); document.write( "Just choose a least two values for x and find y for each equation. Plot these coordinates \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Using x = 0 is easy, gives you the y intercept, let x = 2 and find y \n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 1 \n" ); document.write( "y = 0 + 1 \n" ); document.write( "y = 1 \n" ); document.write( "x=2 \n" ); document.write( "y = -2 + 1 \n" ); document.write( "y = -1 \n" ); document.write( "Two pairs, 0,1; 2,-1 \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "y = -4x - 2 \n" ); document.write( "y = -4(0) - 2 \n" ); document.write( "y = -2 \n" ); document.write( "x=2 \n" ); document.write( "y = -4(2) -2 \n" ); document.write( "y = -10 \n" ); document.write( "Two pairs, 0,-2; 2,-10 \n" ); document.write( "Should look like this \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "they do intersect so there is one solution; -1,2 \n" ); document.write( " |
