how do you graph 3x-2y=1 and y=-1/2x+2. my answer is (5/4,11/8) i just don't know how to graph it.
------------------
y = (3/2)x-(1/2)
y = (-1/2)x+2
--------------------
Graph y = (3/2)x-(1/2)
Let x = 0, then y = -1/2 giving you point (0,-1/2)
Let x = 2, then y = -1+2 = 3 giving you point (2,3)
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them.
==================================================
Graph y = (-1/2)x+2
Let x = 0, then y = 2 giving you point (0,2)
Let x = 2, then y = -1+2 = 1 giving you point (2,1)
Plot the two points and draw a line thru them.
