Solve the following system of equations graphically.

y - 4 = 0
2x - y - 2 = 0

What is the solution set?

{(-3, -4)}
{(-3, 4)}
{(3, 4)}

what does this mean {()} around the problem ????

Since the question is what is the solution set, the answers are sets. {} are the symbols for a set.

anonymous · Answer

i also need help solving i think let me try

mathstudent55 · Answer

Have you tried graphing both equations?

anonymous · Answer

so itd have to be C ???

mathstudent55 · Answer

First we solve both equations for y.

y - 4 = 0            ---------->   y = 4
2x - y - 2 = 0    ---------->   y = 2x - 2

anonymous · Answer

just so you know i didnt guess i worked it out

mathstudent55 · Answer

y = 4 is a horizontal line that goes through y = 4.

To graph y = 2x - 2, we find two points and use them to graph the equation.

mathstudent55 · Answer

y = 2x - 2

   x   |   y
---------
   0   |   -2
   2   |    2
