i need help solving this system by graphing??..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left\{ 2x+y=-7 \right\} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2x-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left\{ -3x+2y=14 \right\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{−3x+2y=14} -2y -2y -3x=12 /-3 /-3 x=-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\{\begin{matrix}2x + y = -7 \\ -3x+2y = 14\end{matrix}\}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got through the first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To solve by graphing, rewrite them in the standard y=mx + b form and graph each one. Then find where they cross.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, im confused??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+y=−7} in y=mx+b for its like this y=2x-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i plug in the other equation into y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are asked to solve by graphing you have to write the equations in standard form and graph them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now i jst do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2(-4)-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-8-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x + y = -7 \implies y = -2x + -7\] So draw that line on some graph paper. \[-3x+ 2y = 14 \implies y = \frac{3}{2}x + 7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't do any algebra when you solve by graphing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then hyou make a table of values then you get your coordinates and graph them on the graph and when it makes a straight line you draw it throughth and make sure you xtende the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(Other than the algebra to get the equation into standard form)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so how do i get the corrdinates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by using numbers for x and psubititing it to the equation and you get you x and y then you graph them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i already have some graphed because i have a multiple choice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you needl help ask me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dnt noe how to get the y value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what is your first eqution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i jst plug it into the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+y=-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just plot 2 points and draw a straight line that goes through each of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set x=0 for the first point and figure out what y is. Then set y = 0 for the second point and find what x is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

polpak i tryed that its doesnt help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either way i dnt need to graph them they r alrdy graphed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, then just check to see which ones go through the points you plot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i will check.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but do you get how to get x an y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yoplak you mean at which oints do they intersect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried to check on the graph and didnt understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ok diid you changed the equation they give you to y=mx+b form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2x-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the equations that you changed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the top one which is 2x+y=-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i jst plug in the x value that i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which was -4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you attach this work and give me the linnk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what numbers diid you use for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ask one of your parents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh the choices u mean??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a.(-4,-1) b.(-4,1) c.(4,1) d.(4,-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its either a or b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht is the questiom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve the system by graphing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok diid you grpah the equatios

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo they r alrdy graphed they r the choices too withthe x and y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what doe the graph show does it show 2 lines crossing each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at what point do they intersect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other words cross at which 2 points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a is 0 n 6 i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both of the lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i knoe they r like in the middle of 2 #s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you make an attachmen t to this work so i can see this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ask your mom or dad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i can help you better and faster

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wuld have to scan it to the comp.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill see wait a lil

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diid you scan it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im doing it rite now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what grade you in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8th and u??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am good at math i diid this already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i knew it your were in 8th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh im not so good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you finsih scaning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok its saving

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok give me the link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a lil plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh it look all weird
