An augmented matrix for a system of linear equations in x, y, and z is given. Find the solution of the system.
1 answer:
Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-4, 2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attachment for the output of a calculator that produces the reduced row-echelon form of the matrix.
The [x, y, z] result vector is the column on the right.
(x, y, z) = (-4, 2, 1)
_____
Numerous web sites are available for computing the row-reduced form of the matrix, or for solving the system of equations. Your graphing calculator will do it as well.

Answer:
(-5, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph the two equations, you can look at two things, the slope and the y-intercept.
The two equations are in slope-intercept form, y= mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is rise/run and the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.
In the first equation, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -8. So, to graph you would start at (0, 8) and move up one unit and then left one unit to get the next point.
For the second equation, the slope is 2/5 and the y-intercept is -1. So, to graph you would do the same thing. Start at (0, -1) and then go up 2 units and right 5 units to get the next point.
