You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given the system of linear equations,(3x-4y=5 2x+3y=8)
Re-write both equations in the y = mx + b form.
What is the slope of the first equation? ………………..
What is the slope of the second equation? ……………
Based on the slopes, will these lines intersect or they are parallel?
**
First equation:
3x-4y=5
4y=3x-5
y=(3/4)x-5/4
slope=3/4
..
Second equation:
2x+3y=8
3y=-2x+8
y=(-2/3)x+8/3
slope=-2/3
..
lines will intersect
