Solve the system of equations: y=2x y=x²-8

1 answer:

6 0

Set equal to each other
x^2 - 8 = 2x
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

Factor
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
x = 4 or x = -2

Plug in 4
y = 2x or y = x^2 - 8
y = 2(4) or y = 4^2 - 8
y = 8

Plug in -2
y = 2x or y = x^2 - 8
y = 2(-2) or y = (-2)^2 - 8
y = -4

There are two solutions
(4, 8) and (-2, -4)

A line with slope

spayn [35]

Answer:

(0, 8/3) = y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose to find the y-intercept since it is easy to find with the given information.

The equation for a line is y = mx + b

To find the y-intercept, we must plug in the info we have and solve for b:

4 = -1/3 (-4) + b

4 = -4/3 + b

8/3 = b

To find a point on the line, you also could have added -1 to 4 and 3 to -4 since slope means rise/run or change in y/change in x:

(y - 1) / (x + 3) = (4 - 1) / (-4 + 3) = (3, -1) (flip since it's the y and x coordinate) = (-1, 3)
