A pair of linear equations is shown below: y = –3x + 5 y = x + 2 Which of the following statements best explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically? On a graph, find the point of intersection of two lines, the first line has y-intercept = 5 and slope = –3 and the second line has y-intercept = 2 and slope = 1. On a graph, find the point of intersection of two lines, the first line has y-intercept = –3 and slope = 5 and the second line has y-intercept = 1 and slope = 2. On a graph, find the point of intersection of two lines, the first line has y-intercept = –5 and slope = 3, and the second line has y-intercept = –2 and slope = –1. On a graph, find the point of intersection of two lines, the first line has y-intercept = 3 and slope = –5 and the second line has y-intercept = –1 and slope = –2.

y = mx+b, do you know what m, b are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many solutions in each of those graphs

OpenStudy (help_people):

2?

@amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you say that

OpenStudy (help_people):

because there are @optiquest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why

OpenStudy (help_people):

there are 2 lines @optiquest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but the solution to when they are equal is the intersection of the two lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if they are parallel they never intersect, if they overlap then they are the same and you have inf solutions, if they cross each other once then you get one solution which is this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you know about slope intercept form and what does it look like

OpenStudy (help_people):

a

OpenStudy (help_people):

is the answer @optiquest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
