Question 1043882: Solve the system of linear equations by graphing.
I know the solution is (2,6); however for the life of me I can't figure out the graphing portion. Can someone give me a step by step on how to graph this?
3x-2y=-6
6x−y=-6

Make a table of data points for each equation. Graph each set of points of each equation separately on the same graph paper, cartesian system. Find and read the intersection point.

Another way is put each equation into slope-intercept form, and use the y-intercept and slope of each equation to graph its line; and identify and read the intersection point. Start by solving each equation for y in terms of x.


system%28y=%283%2F2%29x%2B3%2Cy=6x%2B6%29

graph%28400%2C400%2C-5%2C5%2C-3%2C7%2C3x%2F2%2B3%2C6x%2B6%29


The trouble you had was that you expected an intersection point other than the actual point for the exercise.

(2, 6) is NOT a solution to the system: system%283x+-+2y+=+-+6%2C+6x+-+y+=+-+6%29, so a step-by-step procedure WILL NOT help you, since the statement is FALSE.
