Question:
What would the coordinates be when solving this system by graphing?
3x + y = -1
9x + 3y = -3

Answer:

When you rewrite these equation in the form, y = mx +c, you can see that both the equations are same...
+y+=+-1-+3x+
+3y+=+-1-3x
So when you graph these equations, both the lines overlap each other....
So there will be infinite number of solutions(coordinates..)
The graph will look like this.....

+graph%28+900%2C+900%2C+-9%2C+9%2C+-10%2C+10%2C++-1-+3x+%2C+-1-3x+%29+

Hope you found the explanation useful....
