select the system of equations that corresponds to the given graph. graph below!!!!!!! please help
@touseii45
@shorite14
Well basically what you want to do is find the slope of each of the lines and you have your system of equations, they will be in slope intercept form i believe
do you know how to do that?
i got 2x + 2y = 12 4x +2y = 4
is that right or did i make a mistake?
uhm well im not sure cause i havent done this for a while so i dont remember but maybe @electrokid can help you
is he online?
yea he is
@Mertsj @UnkleRhaukus
Maybe they can help(:
okat :)
when you solve the correct system you should get (x,y) = (0,3)
so am i right? @UnkleRhaukus
the graph of a system of parallel lines will intersect exactly 1 point. always sometimes never @touseii45
|dw:1366038379678:dw| by this what do you think the answer is?
never
Correct(:
you are looking for the equations of the two lines.. 1) get their slopes
how @electrokid
|dw:1366038726931:dw| \[{\rm slope} = {y_2-y_1\over x_2-x_1}={0-3\over 6-0}=-{1\over2}\] then equation of line: \[y=mx+b\\y={-1\over2}x+3\] where b = y-intercept = 3 for both the lines
that is one of the lines.. similarly, get the second line slope. it has the same y-intercept
|dw:1366038898799:dw|
@allie_bear22 you follow?
(0.3) is were they all come together
yes. but the question you've put up asks for the equations of the two lines. I just showed you one of the two lines. similarly, get the equation of the second one.
(0,6)
that is a point on the line.... we are done with that line.... |dw:1366039149014:dw|
(3,1)
you have to try.. not guess
how did you get 2x+2y=12 ?
this is what i got for an answer 4x + 2y =12 4x +2y =4
was that the first option??? and if it was wrong somebody would give away the answer?
and you keep trying the four options?
wow really?! no i really thought thats what it was
so stop accusing me okay
dont "think". math does not ask thinking.. it asks for "following the steps"
your supposed to be help not treating people like there stupid so get it together
I am not. I asked you how you got that answer and you never answered that
How am I supposed to know what went wrong in your work and help you if you do not show me what you did!!!?
@allie_bear22 He is just trying to help, he isnt accusing you of anything
