Question

A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 6x − 4
y = 5x − 3

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)

Answer 1

Hello @teressa24

How would you solve the two equations if you were graphing it?

Do you know that the solution to the two equations is where they intersect?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

so basically when you're solving it by graphing

you graph each equation

and the place where the two lines cross each other or intersect- that's the solution

Answer 4

Does that make sense?

also the equations are in the form of

y = mx + b

m is the slope
and b is the y-intercept
