Question

Solve the systems of equations by graphing

Answer 1

do you need to plot points...?

Answer 2

Yes. I have to make 2 lines

Answer 3

ok... so rewrite the 1st line as

y = 3x - 3

for the 2nd line 2y = 6x - 3 divide every term by 2 . What do you get..?

Answer 4

do you understand the concept of using a table of values..?

Answer 5

No i have never done that

Answer 6

I have to drive home now, but if someone can explain to me what it means to use a table of values?

Answer 7

@campbell_st can you explain this to me please?

Answer 8

I was at work earlier and my students needed my attention sorry

Answer 9

ok... so you substitute each x value to get a y value

so rewrite the 1st equation as y = 3x - 3

x = 0 y = 3*0 - 3 so y = -3 the point is (0, -3)

next

x =1 y = 3*1 - 3 so y = 0 the point (1, 0)

lastly

x = 2 y = 3* 2 - 3 so y = 3 the point (2, 3)

plot the 3 points and draw a line through them

now repeat the process for the 2nd line

2y = 6x - 3

use x = 0


x = 1

x = 2

to find the points...

plot them and draw a line through them

and see if the lines intersect.

hope it helps

Answer 10

That definitely does!! Thank you so much.
