Question

how do you graph:
Eq. 1: 2x - y= 8
Eq. 2: 3x - 7= 4y

Answer 1

Find x and y intercepts for each line and graph each line in two dimensional space on x/y axes.

Answer 2

Do you know how to find x and y intercepts?

Answer 3

yea

Answer 4

Good. Can you work it and show me what you got?

Answer 5

y=mx +b
2x - y = 8
y= 2x + -8
slope: 2
yint: -8
x int: 4

3x - 7= 4y
slope: 3/4

im stuck on the yint and xint on 3x - 7= 4y

Answer 6

for the y intercept let x = 0 and solve for y

Answer 7

you get 0 - 7 = 4y

Answer 8

so y = -7/4

Answer 9

Could you get by yourself the x intercept?

Answer 10

i think you can by multiplying both sides by 3/4

Answer 11

Multiply both sides of the second equation you mean.

Answer 12

And what is the next step?

Answer 13

umm you cross cancel?
