Question

Use a graphing tool to solve the system.

{3x − 8y = 29
{3x + y = −2

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution to the system?

A. (0,−3.75)

B. (0, −2)

C. (0.75, −2.25)

D. (0.5, −3.5)

Answer 1

Answer 2

you are given a graphing tool so simply graph both equations and find the intersection

re-writing both equations in y = mx + b form may be helpful

Answer 3

I just solved it, The answer is either B or D

Answer 4

show me the graph you have made

Answer 5

well my phone cord is properly working at the moment but my answer shows the appropriate answer so i think it is A

Answer 6

not

Answer 7

sorry i left that out

Answer 8

look at your graph and tell me the x- and y-coordinates of the point

Answer 9

the x coordinate is -1 and y coordinate is 2

Answer 10

then your graph is incorrect

3x − 8y = 29
3x + y = −2

rewriting this gives us

y = (3/8)x - 29/8
y = -3x - 2

graph these two lines and find the intersection

please be honest with me if you are having trouble with the graph


*** just had to correct a typo, it was - 29/8 not + 29/8

Answer 11

i have a pic, i finally got it to work

Answer 12

the answer is B

Answer 13

can you try graphing it again, I made a typo in the original problem

just change the + 29/8 to a -29/8

Answer 14

OH OK

Answer 15

there

Answer 16

ok now the answer is D

Answer 17

good, well done
