Question

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Solve the following system of equations graphically. Click on the graph until the correct solution of the system appears.

y = -3
x - y = 8

Answer 1

can u graph this:
y = -3

Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

can you graph y=-3,
do you know how to graph this?

Answer 4

no not really. graphs are my week point

Answer 5

ok ^_^

Answer 6

weak**

Answer 7

I think its the first one

Answer 8

so here is our coordinate system:

Answer 10

when y=-3,
we will draw a horizontal line that goes the the point -3 on the y axis.
so we first locate -3 on the y axis

Answer 11

once located, we draw a horizontal line through it.

Answer 12

this is the graph of, y=-3

Answer 13

make sense so far?

Answer 14

@miamilove14

Answer 15

yea ^.^

Answer 16

@DemolisionWolf

Answer 17

good ^_^

Answer 18

so next we have to graph:
x - y = 8

Answer 19

thank you ^.^

Answer 20

the easiest way to graph this is (oh, we arnt' done yet ^_^)

Answer 21

the easiest way to graph this, x - y = 8, is to get two points.
first, let x=0, then solve for y
then
let y=0 and solve for x,

can you do this step for me?

Answer 22

ummmmm......

Answer 23

i'll do the first one:
"let x=0 and solve for y"
so...
x - y = 8
0 - y = 8
there is only 1 number that y can be,
0-(-8) = 8
so y=-8
then we have the ordered pair (or the point) (0, -8)

make sense?
u try the next step
let y=0 and solve for x

Answer 24

So would x be 8?

Answer 25

x - y = 8
x - 0 = 8
8 - 0 = 8
yep ^_^ good work,
so we now have the second ordered pair (or point) to graph

so, lets plot (0, -8) and (8, 0) on to our graph

Answer 26

make sense so far?
