Question 732415
Find the equation with the given properties and sketch the graph-passes through the point of intersection of 2x+y-3=0 and x-y-3=0 and through the point (4,3). I am a bit lost on this: I've solved for each y intercepts (y=-2x+3 and y=x-3).
=====
So: -2x+3 = x-3
3x = 6
x = 2
-----
And:
y = -2*2+3 = -1
================
You want the equation of the line thru (2,-1) and (4,3)
-----
slope = (3--1)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2
======
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
3 = 2*4 + b
b = -5
------
Equation:
y = 2x-5
==============
