y = 4 + 1/3x

Question

Solve the system of equations by graphing.

-1/3x + y = –1

y = 4 + 1/3x

tkhunny · Answer

Well, you should graph those two lines and see where they intersect.

You may wish to put the first in Slope-Intercept form.  It may be easier, that way.

i have to solve the equations to do that. and i confused myself doing that

anonymous · Answer

ughh i need help..

anonymous · Answer

At glance, there is no solution. I can see 

The 1st equation: 1/3x = y + 1
The 2nd equation: 1/3x = y - 4

--> y + 1 = y - 4 (Impossible)

So we don't have any solution, even with graphs

If you need to graph these two equations, see the attached file.

i have to put each equation into y=mx+b form first and im confused on how to do that since i havent done it in a while
