| Question 310002:  Hi,
 How would I go about doing this:
 Draw a linear graph on the same set of axes and determine the points of intersection from the graphs drawn:
 y=x+1
 y=-2x-1
 y=x-3
 Found 2 solutions by  Alan3354, stanbon:

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw a linear graph on the same set of axes and determine the points of intersection from the graphs drawn: y=x+1
 y=-2x-1
 y=x-3
 ----------------
 Each eqn will give a graph that's a straight line.  Find 2 points and draw a line thru them.
 y = x+1
 Pick values of x, and find y
 x = 0, y = 1 --> (0,1)  one point
 x = 5, y = 6 --> (5,6) a 2nd point
 Plot them, draw a line thru them.
 ---------------------
 Do the same for the other 2 eqns.

 Plot two points and graph:
 Let x= 0, then y = 1 giving you point (0,1)
 Let x= 2, then y = 3 giving you point (2,3)
 Plot and graph:
 
  ------------------------------------------
 y=-2x-1
 Let x= 0, then y = -1 giving you point (0,-1)
 Let x = 2, then y = 3 giving you point (2,3)
 Plot and graph:
 
  ------------------------------------------
 y=x-3
 Let x = 0, then y = -3 giving you point (0,-3)
 Let x = 2, then y = -1 giving you point (2,-1)
 Plot and graph:
 
  -------------------------------------------
 Plotting them on one set of axis, look for a common point of intersection:
 
  ========================
 The points of intersection are (-2/3 , 1/3) and (2/3, -2 1/3)
 ================================================================
