Part A:
We see that this pair of equations has 1 solution. On a graph, the solutions of 2 (or more) lines is where the lines intersect. In this case, since these lines intersect 1 time, they have 1 solution.
Part B:
As previously mentioned, the solutions of multiple lines is where the lines intersect. In this case, since they intersect at (4,4), that is the solution.
First you'll have to bring the equation in form y = mx + b.
4y = -x - 32
y = -1/4 x - 8
So the slope is -1/4 and y-intercept is -8
Hope this helps :)
Undefined and Undefined
Since the equation is x = 4, there is no y-intercept as x will never equal 0.
Additionally, since the equation is x = 4, there is no change in x value and as such the slope can not be determined.
Answer:
x = 3.25
y =4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution method we say that;
let;
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
from equation2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
substitute for x in equation 1
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
8(8-y) - 4y = 7
64-8y-4y=7
64-12y=7
collect the like terms
64-7 = 12y
57= 12y
divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 12
57/12 = 12y/12
4.75 = y
y =4.75
put y = 4.75 in equation 3
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
x = 8 -4.75
x = 3.25
to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and y in either equation 1 or 2
from equation 2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
3.25 + 4.75 =8
8=8.................... proved
