Solve the System by Graphing:
1 answer:
Answer:
- B) One solution
- The solution is (2, -2)
- The graph is below.
=========================================================
Explanation:
I used GeoGebra to graph the two lines. Desmos is another free tool you can use. There are other graphing calculators out there to choose from as well.
Once you have the two lines graphed, notice that they cross at (2, -2) which is where the solution is located. This point is on both lines, so it satisfies both equations simultaneously. There's only one such intersection point, so there's only one solution.

To graph these equations by hand, plug in various x values to find corresponding y values. For instance, if you plugged in x = 0 into the first equation, then,
y = (-3/2)x+1
y = (-3/2)*0+1
y = 1
The point (0,1) is on the first line. The point (2,-2) is also on this line. Draw a straight line through the two points to finish that equation. The other equation is handled in a similar fashion.

B. Yes, it is constant.
<u>Skills needed: Linear Equations, Substitution and Division</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Solving Part A (we need to find the slope):
- The slope is
-->
,
,
, and
are all values from the table. We know that the left column is the x-values, and the right column is the y-values as that is the conventional way of depicting them.
2) Using the y-values of 1150 and 1090, and their corresponding x-values (5 and 10 respectively), we can get the slope:
- ==>
==>
==>
, so the slope is -12.
==================================================================
1) Part B (analysis)
We can see that no matter what 2 y-values and their corresponding x values we use, the slope always is the same. This means that the rate of change is constant.
