Question 504033: graph the two equations to solve the system. What is the solution
3x+2y=6 and -3/2x-1

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To do the graphs, you need to get the equations in slope-intercept form: y = mx+b.
.
3x +2y = 6
2y = -3x +6
y = -3/2x +3
.
x=0, y=3 defines the point (0,3)
x=2, y=0 defines the point (2,0)
now you can draw the first line
.
I assume the second equation is: y = -3/2x -1.
.
It has the same slope as the first equation, so it will be parallel.
Since there is no intersection for parallel lines, there is no single point that solves them both.
