Start on -7 since it is the y intercept(b). 4/1 is the slope. So from seven you would go up 4 right 1.
Given:
The given system of equations is:


To find:
The solution to this system of equations by graphing.
Solution:
We have,


The table of values for first equation is:
x y
0 1
1 -1
Plot the points (0,1) and (1,-1) on a coordinate plane and connect them a straight line.
The table of values for second equation is:
x y
0 -4
2 -3
Plot the points (0,-4) and (2,-3) on a coordinate plane and connect them a straight line.
The graphs of given equations are shown in the below figure.
From the below figure, it is clear that the lines intersect each other at point (2,-3). So, the solution of the given system of equations is (2,-3).
Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is:
x-coordinate: 2
y-coordinate: -3
Given:
Violinists : Cellists = 7:3.
Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21
To find:
The combined number of cellists and violinists.
Solution:
Let the number of violinists and cellists in the school orchestra are 7x and 3x respectively.
Then, combined number of cellists and violinists is

...(i)
Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21

Divide both sides by 7.

Now, the combined number of cellists and violinists is
[Using (i)]

Therefore, the combined number of cellists and violinists is 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 · c - 5 · 2 - 3 = 2c - 10 - 3
2c - 10 - 3 = 2c - 7
