Question

What is the solution of the system? Use a graph.
y = x + 5
y = –5x – 1

Answer 1

The general form of these equations is y = mx + b

Answer 2

y = mx + b
y = x + 5
y = –5x – 1

Answer 3

???????

Answer 4

these graphs are killing me. i think i am about to fail my first class ever =(

Answer 5

y = mx + b
y = x + 5
y = –5x – 1

What is the value for b in each graph?

Answer 6

5?

Answer 7

Yes, :-D

The value of 5 is called the y-intercept of the graph,
because it is where the graph of the line intercepts the y-axis.

Answer 8

What is the y-intercept for the second graph?

y = –5x – 1

Answer 9

I'm just going to have to guess on these because I dont see the same thing on the graph as in the written

Answer 10

y = mx + b
y = –5x – 1

Answer 11

y = –5x – 1 = -5x + (-1)

Answer 12

y = mx + b

y= = -5x + (-1)
