can someone help me please..

Question

anonymous · Answer

If you solve an equation by graphing each side as a separate line , which of the following corresponds to the solution of the equation.

a the x-coordinate of the intersection point 
b the y-coordinate of the intersection point 
c both x an y
d there is only a solution if the lines are identical

anonymous · Answer

Are both sides in terms of x and y?

anonymous · Answer

what?

hartnn · Answer

the solution for a 'line' is in terms of a point (x,y) , so both co-ordinates.|dw:1357369794127:dw|

anonymous · Answer

so that would be c

hartnn · Answer

but also it depends on the equation, like if you have an equation like 
ax+b=cx+d
then only 'x' co-ordinate is the solution.
but if you have something like 
ay+b=cy+d
then only 'y' co-ordinate is the solution.
i will say that the question was not framed properly.

hartnn · Answer

my best guess would be that, only 'x' co-ordinate will be the solution.

anonymous · Answer

but that is the only info it gives us..

hartnn · Answer

then as i said, i would have gone with 'a'.

anonymous · Answer

ok...

hartnn · Answer

if only, the equation was mentioned......

anonymous · Answer

there was no equation

anonymous · Answer

mercedies, I don't think the question is worded very well.  

However, having said that, if each side can be graphed as a line, it probably means we have something like$$m_1x+b_1=m_2x+b_2$$Since both are in terms of x, when we find the intersection, we will be interested in the value of x.

hartnn · Answer

even you said 'probably' :P
and yes, i happened to google your question, and got 'a' as the answer from most links...so you can safely go with 'a'.

anonymous · Answer

ok..

anonymous · Answer

thank youi just got a 100% YAHHH

anonymous · Answer

Excellent.  Do math every day.
