anonymous · Answer

get both equation in y=mx+b forms

anonymous · Answer

how do you do that?

amistre64 · Answer

this online class that your doing posts these questions as a means to get you to think about what is going on, the process itself.  What are you thoughts about it?

anonymous · Answer

-6y=-2x+12

anonymous · Answer

thoughts about what?

anonymous · Answer

y=-1/3+2

anonymous · Answer

thts first equations

amistre64 · Answer

thoughts about the geneva convention apparently, since that is the topic at hend ....

anonymous · Answer

geneva convention?

amistre64 · Answer

system of equations by graphing?

anonymous · Answer

y=2 is y intercept

anonymous · Answer

what is the geneva convention?

amistre64 · Answer

lol .. it is something that has absolutely nothing to do with the question you posted :)

amistre64 · Answer

but if you wanna read up on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions

anonymous · Answer

yeah, but u said something about it? i don't know why u included it :D

anonymous · Answer

do same thing i did for second equations isolate for y

anonymous · Answer

then graph it

amistre64 · Answer

:)  i was being sarcastic lol

tell me what your thoughts are about how to solve a system of equation by graphing

anonymous · Answer

Well, I am completely confused about it

amistre64 · Answer

have you ever seen a sword fight; where they stand up and cross swords?

anonymous · Answer

yeah

amistre64 · Answer

graphing shows us where the sqords cross at, where they touch, the point that they have in common

amistre64 · Answer

think of each equation like a sword, and we want to see where they cross at

amistre64 · Answer

the point at where they touch is the point they have in common, and is the solution to the equation.

How would you describe it?

anonymous · Answer

I would describe it as a very good analogy? lol but i guess it makes sense now

amistre64 · Answer

graphing is a good visual, but it is not great for accuracy.  Which is why it is seldom used

anonymous · Answer

oh right

amistre64 · Answer

good luck with it :)

thank u :]]]
