Question

Part 1: Explain, in complete sentences, how you would use the graphing method to solve the following system of equations.

Part 2: Provide the solution to the system.

Part 3: Explain what the solution represents on the graph.

x + 4y = –16
3x + 2y = 12

Answer 1

step one- convert to slope intercept form
step two- graph it
step three- find if any intersections exists

Answer 2

personally i like using slope intercept form because once its in this form, its easy to just plot the intercept on the graph, then draw the rest of the line because you already have the slope
its a horrible method if the slope ends up not being whole numbers or ridiculously large fractions

Answer 3

So it would be y=mx=b form? Then put it on a graph ?
