solve linear equation

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

y=2x-3

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you can't solve a linear equation

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

no

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

no, i mean there is nothing to solve

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

literally

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you can graph it, find the slope, etc

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

but you can't "solve" it

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

my assignment says make a linear equation then solve it

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

you must be missing a part of the question

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

maybe a 2nd linear equation, then you can have a system and you can solve it.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

1 linear equation, you can't define any of the variables

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

it says

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Before blast-off, the Mathonauts must set the trajectory of their ship. Create a linear equation with a positive slope to be your original trajectory.

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

After blast-off, the sensors have picked up an incoming meteor. The Mathonauts frantically start preparing for impact. If the linear equation of the meteor’s path is known, describe to the captain how to solve where your equation from question 1 and the meteor’s path will cross. Explain any possible methods used in discovering a solution.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Give me the equation of the meteor's path, and the captain's trajectory.
