Question

Solve this system of equations by graphing. First graph the equations, and then type the solution.y=6xy=8x–2

Answer 1

In order to graph each equation, we need two ordered pairs that are solution to the equation.

To find these ordered pairs, we can choose values for x and then calculate the corresponding values of y.

For the first equation, let's use the ordered pairs (0, 0) and (1, 6).

For the second equation, let's use the ordered pairs (0, -2) and (1, 6).

Graphing these points and the lines that pass through them, we have:

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point between the lines, therefore the solution is (1, 6).
