Choose the correct graph of the given system of equations. y − 2x = −1 x + 3y = 4

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

D.None of the above

solve for y

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

y − 2x = −1 i get: y = 2x -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right :) then graph it

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i dont see it in those graphs..... ^^

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

wait..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

how do i graph it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y-int. then the slope is up 2 over 1 or down 2 over 1

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

A?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@blondie16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is not a

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

???????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph it and find it it would be B

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

no its not B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

yes it is nevermind... i get a positive slope for the first one and a negative slope for the other one........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

im so confusing lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xD

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

im correct right? lmfao..

I haven't done this in two years D: @ash2326 help her? :D Please? haha

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

lol :) thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem haha

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Gabylovesyou Can you solve simultaneous linear equations?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

O.o no lol .......

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@ash2326 I did it already.... can u check my answer?? I got B?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

How did you solve this?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

solved for y and then i graphed both of them ..

OpenStudy (ash2326):

How did you graph? Did you use a paper?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

no......... i used the comp..

OpenStudy (ash2326):

for solving y also?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

no... for solving y i used paper lol

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@ash2326

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

Am i correct? is it B ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yes, you are right. But I feel that you could have used another method for solving for x and y You can find y in terms of x from both the equations and compare them to find the value of x and then use x value to find y. The value you'll get for x and y, will be the point where the lines intersect.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

oh. lol :p ok ..
