Solved by pluggable solver: Solve the System of Equations by Graphing



Start with the given system of equations:


2x-y=4

2x-y=6





In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.




So let's solve for y on the first equation


2x-y=4 Start with the given equation



-y=4-2x Subtract 2+x from both sides



-y=-2x%2B4 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-2x%2B4%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1



y=%28-2%2F-1%29x%2B%284%29%2F%28-1%29 Break up the fraction



y=2x-4 Reduce



Now lets graph y=2x-4 (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)



+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x-4%29+ Graph of y=2x-4




So let's solve for y on the second equation


2x-y=6 Start with the given equation



-y=6-2x Subtract 2+x from both sides



-y=-2x%2B6 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-2x%2B6%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1



y=%28-2%2F-1%29x%2B%286%29%2F%28-1%29 Break up the fraction



y=2x-6 Reduce





Now lets add the graph of y=2x-6 to our first plot to get:


+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x-4%2C2x-6%29+ Graph of y=2x-4(red) and y=2x-6(green)


From the graph, we can see that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect. So there are no solutions and the system is inconsistent.

Start with the given system of equations:


1x-2y=8

3x-2y=12





In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.




So let's solve for y on the first equation


1x-2y=8 Start with the given equation



-2y=8-x Subtract +x from both sides



-2y=-x%2B8 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-x%2B8%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2



y=%28-1%2F-2%29x%2B%288%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction



y=%281%2F2%29x-4 Reduce



Now lets graph y=%281%2F2%29x-4 (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)



+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F2%29x-4%29+ Graph of y=%281%2F2%29x-4




So let's solve for y on the second equation


3x-2y=12 Start with the given equation



-2y=12-3x Subtract 3+x from both sides



-2y=-3x%2B12 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-3x%2B12%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2



y=%28-3%2F-2%29x%2B%2812%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction



y=%283%2F2%29x-6 Reduce





Now lets add the graph of y=%283%2F2%29x-6 to our first plot to get:


+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F2%29x-4%2C%283%2F2%29x-6%29+ Graph of y=%281%2F2%29x-4(red) and y=%283%2F2%29x-6(green)


From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (2,-3) (note: you might have to adjust the window to see the intersection)

Start with the given system of equations:


3x-6y=9

1x-2y=3





In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.




So let's solve for y on the first equation


3x-6y=9 Start with the given equation



-6y=9-3x Subtract 3+x from both sides



-6y=-3x%2B9 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-3x%2B9%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6



y=%28-3%2F-6%29x%2B%289%29%2F%28-6%29 Break up the fraction



y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2 Reduce



Now lets graph y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2 (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)



+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2%29+ Graph of y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2




So let's solve for y on the second equation


1x-2y=3 Start with the given equation



-2y=3-x Subtract +x from both sides



-2y=-x%2B3 Rearrange the equation



y=%28-x%2B3%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2



y=%28-1%2F-2%29x%2B%283%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction



y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2 Reduce





Now lets add the graph of y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2 to our first plot to get:


Graph of y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2(red) and y=%281%2F2%29x-3%2F2(green)


From the graph, we can see that the two lines are identical (one lies perfectly on top of the other) and intersect at all points of both lines. So there are an infinite number of solutions and the system is dependent.
