General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
y = 7x + 3
<u>Step 2: Break Function</u>
<em>Identify Parts</em>
Slope <em>m</em> = 7
y-intercept <em>b</em> = 3
If the lines cross, there is a solution , which means that there is a y and x value which satisfies both equations.
since both the equations start with x+y they shoulddd have the same answer if they had crossed. we can tell straight away these lines do not cross because 6=/=4 6 doesnt equal 4. therefore no solution.
TIP: for the future, if they had crossed, you can use simultaneous equations to find x and y to see if they work in each equation and find a solution ( since they are straight lines there will only be 1 solution, unless they are literally the same line in which case then then they are ALWAYS on top of each other and always have the same values)
