Question

Solve the following system of equations by graphing. Label the solution and all intercepts.

4x-2y=8
y=1/2x+2
Please show me also how to graph it. Thanks a ton!

Answer 1

see graph (4,4)

to manually graph just pick any two values for X in the first equation and calculate the corresponding Y value ... put a "dot" (a point on the graph)

do for both points , and draw al LINE between them...

repeat fore the second equation... the "solution" is where the two lines cross

Explanation:

Answer 2

(4,4)

y = 4

x = 4

Explanation:

First we need to input y = 1/2x + 2 into 4x - 2y = 8.

4x - 2 (1/2x + 2) = 8 <-- Then solve

4x - 1x + -4 = 8

3x - 4 = 8

+4 +4

---------------------

3x = 12

3 3

x = 4

Now we need to use x and apply it to find y.

y = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2(4) + 2

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

Now to graph go on the x axis (horizontal axis) and go to 4, then up 4 on the y axis.

You need to graph the point (4,4).

I hope this helps!
