Solve each system by graphing? Need some help. :( 1.) y = -x + 1 y= 3x + 12 2.) y += 1.5x + 2 4.5x - 3y = -9 3.) y = x + 1 2x - 2y = -2
Create x and y charts and use a few easy points, wherever the lines intersect is your answer
If the lines coincide you have infinite solutions. If the lines don't intersect at all then you have no solution.
Can someone draw me an example of one of them? I'm confused...
sure imagine you had 2 equations y=x y=-x as examples if you want to graph to find the solutions this would be your answer |dw:1387236044082:dw| Now this is just an example but the y=-x is the solid line and the y=x is the dotted. You see where they intersect? That is the answer to the system of equations x=0. If any of the three you listed above though do not intersect, there is no solution. If they are the same line then there are infinitely many solutions
