Coordinate-system/575630: how do you solve the system by graphing 2x+y=0
6x+4y=6

how do you solve the system by graphing 2x+y=0
6x+4y=6
--------------
Both equations are straight lines, so you need 2 points for each.
2x+y = 0
y = -2x
Pick 2 values for x and find y.
Plot the 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.
========================
6x+4y=6
3x+2y=3
y = (-3/2)x + 3/2
Do the same for this one.
------------
Every point on the line is a solution for the eqn.
The intersection is a solution for both, the solution of the system of equations.

Travel_Word_Problems/575237: one travel 55 mph and the other travel 45 mph in opposite directions. How long will it take them to travel a total distance of 240 miles?

one travel 55 mph and the other travel 45 mph in opposite directions. How long will it take them to travel a total distance of 240 miles?
---------------
It depends on what you mean by "total distance."
Also, how far apart are they at the start?
-------------
If you mean when they'll be 240 miles apart and start from the same point:
The speeds are added when going in opposite directions
55 + 45 = 100 mi/hr
----
d = r*t
t = d/r = 240/100
t = 2.4 hours.
-------
If you mean something else, you'll have to specify.

the question ask to use the y-intercept and slope to sketch the graph.
I think i have to set x as 0 but I'm not sure how to solve or set it up.
so far i have y=x-3
--------------
You don't solve it.
It's 1 equation with 2 variables, so it has an infinite # of solutions.
----------
y = x - 3 is the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
b is the y-int, it's -3, or (0,-3). That's a point on the graph.
-----
The graph is a straight line, so you need 2 points to make the graph.
The slope, m, is +1, so you can count one square the right, an increase in x, and one square up, and increase in y, and plot a 2nd point.
--> (1,-2)
Draw a line thru the 2 points.
------------
You can pick any value for x and find y.
eg, x = 3 --> y = 0 gives the point (3,0)

solve the equation by factoring. show work
2x^2 = 7x+15
-------------
2x%5E2+-+7x+-+15+=+0
-----------
The factors will be
(x + a)*(2x + b)
-----
The product of a*b = -15, so the signs will be different.
One plus, one minus.
a & b are 1 & 15 or 3 & 5, plus or minus.
Try combinations until you find it.
That's how it's done.

How do I solve the system of equations by graphing: y=x-5 and -2x +y=-10
----------
You graph the 2 equations.
The intersection is at the values that fit both equations.

Both graphs are straight lines, so 2 points are needed.
Pick values for x or y, and find the other variable.
Plot 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.

A line passes through (3,5) and (6,14). What is the equation of the line in point-slope form?
==================================
Find the slope.
slope m = diffy/diffx = (14-5)/(6-3) = 9/3
m = 3
Then here's an example.
-------------
Write the equation of a line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. Then write the equation in slopeintercept form. Show all your work.
Passes through (–5,6) and has slope of 3
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b
6 = 3*(-5) + b
b = 21
--> y = 3x + 21

================
i = prt is (sort of) the formula for continuous compounding, but this says simple interest.
----
If the interest was paid on 12000 the first year, then 7000 for 2 years:
9350 = r*12000 + 2r*7000 = 26000r
r = 9350/26000 =~ 0.3596
--> 36% interest, a good rate. Is he a shylock?

the time between a flash of lighting and the sound of thunder is 9 seconds. How far away is the lighting

9 times the speed of sound (in feet or meters per second)
The speed of sound varies with temperature, it's ~ 1000 to 1100 ft/second
9*1000 = 9000 feet

Circumference = pi*85 cm
d = 240*85*pi = 20400*pi cm = 204*pi meters
d =~ 641 meters

You can buy those for ~ $20, they show speed and distance. No need to invent it. It works well on bicycles, but adapting it to rollerblades is not easy.
