Algebra.Com's Answer #514074 by rothauserc(4718)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the solution will be where the two lines intersect \n" ); document.write( "the standard form for a line is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y intercept \n" ); document.write( "put both equations in standard form \n" ); document.write( "we begin with \n" ); document.write( "-3x-y = 7 \n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = -7 \n" ); document.write( "1) -y = 3x +7 \n" ); document.write( "y = -3x -7 \n" ); document.write( "2) 3y = -2x -7 \n" ); document.write( "y = -2x/3 -7/3 \n" ); document.write( "now our two equations are \n" ); document.write( "y = -3x -7 \n" ); document.write( "y = -2x/3 -7/3 \n" ); document.write( "graph of the equations is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "the two lines intersect at point (-2, -1)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
