Question

Part 1: Explain, in complete sentences, how you would use the graphing method to solve the following system of equations. (3 points) Part 2: Provide the solution to the system. (2 points) Part 3: Explain what the solution represents on the graph. (1 point)

3x – 6y = 12
9x + 2y = –24

Answer 1

the graphing method sucks....

Answer 2

Yeah, big time.

Answer 3

but you find both the x and y intercepts then graph them, do you know how to do that?

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

k lets start with 3x-6y=12
to find the x intercept, you set y=0
so it becomes 3x-6(0)=12
so then its 3x=12
divide both sides by 3 so x=4

Answer 6

OK.

Answer 7

do I plug x value to get the y value?

Answer 8
