Question 179578: Homework Question:
Find the area of the triangle enclosed by the lines,
1 . y=2/3x -7/3
2. y =-1/2x+3/2
3. y=-6x-5
Find the points of intersection and then map on a graph.

I started out by finding the x and y coordinates of each line to plot on the graph. The triangle I get is so small that I know I need to find the points of intersection but I am not sure how. Then I guess find the side length I think and lastly the area but unsure of what path to take. I am a middle grade teacher working towards my endorsement and taking class. This was the homework the teacher gave. He made it up, it did not come from a text.
I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks!!!

1) find an equation of the line point slope form that passes through (4,3) and is parallel to the line 3x-y=7
2) what is the equation in standard form of the line through (4,1) an (-2,3)?
3) find the equation of the line with x-intercept 5 and y-intercept 8
it would be great if someone could help me with these! :)

Question 181771: can you please help me do these problems?
solve by graphing method.
1)y - x = 4
y = 3x + 2

2)x + y = 1
5x + y =-7
3)4x + 2y =6
x - y =3

solve by the substitue method
4)
a=3b
a-5b=16


5)
8c-d=-3
4c+5d=15


6)
9p=2q-6
3p-q=12
