Question

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

skullpatrol · Answer

???????

anonymous · Answer

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

skullpatrol · Answer

y = mx + b
y = x + 5 
y = –5x – 1

What is the value for b in each graph?

anonymous · Answer

5?

skullpatrol · Answer

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.

skullpatrol · Answer

What is the y-intercept for the second graph?

y = –5x – 1

anonymous · Answer

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

skullpatrol · Answer

y = mx + b
y = –5x – 1

skullpatrol · Answer

y = –5x – 1 = -5x + (-1)

skullpatrol · Answer

y = mx + b
 
y= = -5x + (-1)
