danjs · Answer

the link doesnt do anything, all they want you to do from the looks of the description, is plot a couple points and connect them with a line

danjs · Answer

2y = -x-1  
points (-3 , 1) and (3,-2)

anonymous · Answer

actulley this is the quetion for that graph The x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is _____.

anonymous · Answer

so 2y=-x -1 is the answer

danjs · Answer

the x coordinate of the solution to the system, is the x coordinate of the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect

danjs · Answer

no, that is just the first line, you have to graph the second one too

anonymous · Answer

oh sorry im bad at math

danjs · Answer

The 2 lines are
2y = -x - 1
2y = x+5

since both are already solved for 2y = .....
you can set both the right sides equal to find the x value of the solution

-x - 1 = x + 5

solve for x

anonymous · Answer

sorry im not sure how too

danjs · Answer

or graph both of them like they want you to, and look at the point where they intersect (x,y) the x value is the answer...

anonymous · Answer

i really dont know how to do this sorry
