medals. How many solutions exist for the system of equations? (Use the graphing calculator tool to help solve the problem.) 3x – 4y = 10 2y = x – 5 one solution: (0, –2.5) one solution: (0, 2.5) no solution infinite number of solutions Which is the best approximate solution to the linear system? (Use the graphing calculator tool to graph the system. Round to the nearest tenth.) x – y = 2 y = 2x + 3 (–2.6, –3.3) (–2.6, 3.3) (–0.7, –2.3) (–0.7, –2.4)

@k_lynn

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

ok, use that graphing calculator I gave you to make the lines. I'll make the lines,too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Here are the graphed lines. Do they intersect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i used the last equation for this question again lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes they do.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Right. And what point do they intersect at?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

wait, I'm sorry I used the wrong equation. Let me graph them again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, it ok.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Ok, those are the right ones. Do those lines intersect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes indeed.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Correct. At what point do they intersect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

around 2.5 or something like that.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

the coordinates that they intersect at are (0,-2.25) So that means that those equations have a solution. So what is that solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which equation are you on

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

the first one.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

the 3x-4y=10 one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we just did that one, im sorry, ive entered the same one.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

oops...let me graph the other one then.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Here is the graphed lines. Do they intersect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Ok, at what points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-0.7

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

I think I did something wrong. The point at which they intersect at isn't an option in your question.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

I"m kind of lost on this. maybe @iGreen or @Conqueror can help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thanks trhough
