A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 7x − 9
y = 3x − 1

Part A: In your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. Write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations. (6 points)

Part B: What is the solution to the pair of equations? (4 points)

texmechanica · Answer

(2,5)

ladylauren · Answer

I think the answer to part B is (2,5) but i need to know how to get there so i can explain it.

texmechanica · Answer

Yes siree.

texmechanica · Answer

y=mx+b
m=slope
b= y intercept

y=7x-9
slope=7
yintercept=-9

y=3x-1
slope=3
yinercept=-1

texmechanica · Answer

Then simplify and subtract them to solve.

texmechanica · Answer

7x-9=y=3x-1
7x-9=3x-1
4x-9=-1
4x=8
x=2

y=3x-1
y=3*2-1
y=6-1
y=5

texmechanica · Answer

It would be (2,5)

ladylauren · Answer

ok how would you explain that?

ladylauren · Answer

because part A is
 In your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. Write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations.

texmechanica · Answer

Take what I said, and then try to put those in your own words.

texmechanica · Answer

My own words won't be your own words.

ladylauren · Answer

i just want to know what part it wants like what point or how i got that point.
