Would this make a circle if it were to be graphed? 7y^2+x^2=64 and x+y=4. Also helpful if you can help me solve it. Thanks!

No, it would make an ellipse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no for circle you should have equel coefficient for x and y

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

The line x+y=4 intersects the ellipse in two points, x = 1, y = 3 and x = 6, y = -2. So, the solution would actually be just these two points. Just substitute y=4-x into the equation of the ellipse to get these solutions: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=7y^2%2Bx^2%3D64%2Cx%2By%3D4
