x+2y-2 -3x-6y=6 graph the linear system and determine how many solutions it has.

OpenStudy (jack1):

... so graph each and find out where the 2 lines overlap/intersect

OpenStudy (jack1):

1 intersection = 1 solution 2 " = 2 " if lines on top of each other: infinite intersections = infinite solutions

goku rocks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

who said goku cant do math?

OpenStudy (jack1):

;D ...wait... who DID say that...? @azbits ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Superman lol

OpenStudy (jack1):

it's on!

OpenStudy (jack1):

@MysteryOwl ... assume it's meant to be x+2y=-2... yeah?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (jack1):

cool, so what did you're lines look like on the graph? |dw:1380947338533:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can i graph those 2 equations?

OpenStudy (jack1):

pick an x value solve for y plot that point as (x, y) on the graph ie EQN 1: x+2y=-2 i pick x = 10 10+2y=-2 2y = -12 so y = -6 so my first point is (10, -6) u try for equation 2...

OpenStudy (jack1):

also dude, if ur not understanding something, pipe up nice and early hey, that way we wont brush over bits like this

hmm.. i see.. its ok.. im just doing advance study.. because our proferssor might give us a surprise quiz.. and one thing im not a dude xD

OpenStudy (jack1):

2nd point for equation 1: pick an x value solve for y plot that point as (x, y) on the graph ie EQN 1: x+2y=-2 i pick x = 0 0+2y=-2 2y = -2 so y = -1 so my 2nd point is (0, -1) |dw:1380947780114:dw|

OpenStudy (jack1):

so when we plot equation 1 it gives us a line that looks something like this

OpenStudy (jack1):

sorry little dudette ;D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinite solution :D

OpenStudy (jack1):

perfect!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hihihi xDD i see now. aigatou goku-kun

OpenStudy (jack1):

Do'itashimapellete kawaii-owl xD
