How do I solve and graph this problem?
Also, is there no solution or infinitely many solutions?
y=x-3
Plot two points and draw a line thru them.
Let x = 0, then y = -3 giving you (0,-3)
Let x = 1, then y = -2 giving you (1,-2)
---------------------------------------------
y=1/7x+3
Plot two points and draw a line thru them.
Let x = 0, then y = 3 giving you (0,3)
Let x = 7, then y = 4 giving you (7,4)
