would u know where these 2 linear equations intersects? if it does?....2x-y=-2 and y=2x+4
2x - y = -2 <=> y = 2x + 2 vs. y = 2x + 4 You have two parallel lines intersecting the y-axis at two different points, so no they will not intersect.
can you please how did u arrive to that solution? do i need to know what is x and y?
It would be easier if you just plotted the two lines by hand. Start by plugging in x = -5 into both equations and checking the resulting y value. Then do x = -4, -3, ..., 0, 1, 2, ...5. You'll see that they are parallel. Also, both lines have the same slope ( the ratio of y to x ) so they will be parallel.
You can get slope by looking at the a in the equation y = ax + b. The slope of those two lines is a = 2.
so meaning to say, i dont need to compute and find the equivalent of x and y?
i dont really understand...would you mind..i still have 4 more? can u help me?
please
I'll take a look at one more, sure
x-5y=15 and x+ 5y=-5
would u mind doing it step by step for me to follow you? :) pleasee
Ok, solving for the first equation you see that x - 5y = 15 <=> 5y = x - 15 Plug this into the second equation x + 5y = -5 You get x + ( x - 15 ) = -5 Simplify and you get 2x = 10, x = 5 Plug x = 5 into either of the equations to get y = - 2
Therefore, the two lines intersect at x = 5, y = 2 ( 5, - 2 )
what the pairs?
are you still therE?
Yes, what do you mean?
pairs like for me to get where it intersects...
There is only one point at which it intersects.
Two straight lines can only intersect at one point on a flat 2D surface.
ok..i will just review what you just typed later...can you still answer 2 more?
2x-3y=6 and 6x=18+9y
just so amazed by your answers...
thank you for helping me with the first 2
still around?
hello...?
