Answer:
- graphing both equations is difficult
- (x, y) = (-35, -35 2/3)
- scaling is difficult
- "elimination" works well
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The equation x-y = 2/3 has no integer solutions, so is difficult to graph accurately.
The equation 4x -3y = -33 transforms to y = 4/3x +11, which is easy enough to graph, but has a slope so similar to the first equation that the graph is difficult to scale in a useful way. (The point of intersection is off the grid for the usual scaling we might choose.)

2. The point of intersection is (x, y) = (-35, -35 2/3).
__
3. As mentioned in part 1, the challenge is finding a useful scale and plotting points and lines accurately. (A graphing calculator helps immensely.)
__
4. There are many ways to solve a system of linear equations. Here, "elimination" works well.
Rewrite the first equation to 3x -3y = 2. Subtract that from the second equation:
(4x -3y) -(3x -3y) = (-33) -(2)
x = -35
y = -35 -2/3 = -35 2/3 . . . . . from the first equation
The exact solution is (x, y) = (-35, -35 2/3).

Answers:
Figure a has been translated only (translated 9 units to the right)
Figure b has been reflected over the x axis
Figure c has been rotated and translated
=======================================
Explanation:
Pick on a point like (-7,4) and note how it moves 9 units to the right to get to (2,4). All points on the upper left figure follow this same translation rule. This rules in figure a.
Figure b is a result of reflecting over the x axis. The rule used is . The x coordinate stays the same while the y coordinate flips from positive to negative. So for example, (-7,4) flips to (-7,-4)
Figure c is a combination of rotating and translating the original figure. It looks like a 90 counterclockwise rotation has been applied followed by a translation. The actual translation and rotation rules used will depend on how you define the center of rotation.
