Systems of Linear Equations Unit Test 15 of 1515 of 15 Items Question Solve the following system of linear equations by graphing. Graph on your own piece of paper. In your submitted answer, describe what the graph looks like and what this tells you about the solution to the system of linear equations. y=x+3 −4x+4y=28 (2 points)
To solve this system of linear equations by graphing, we first need to rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form.
1) y = x + 3
2) -4x + 4y = 28
4y = 4x + 28
y = x + 7
Now we have the equations in slope-intercept form.
The first equation, y = x + 3, has a y-intercept of 3 and a slope of 1. The second equation, y = x + 7, also has a y-intercept of 7 and a slope of 1.
When we graph these two lines, we will see that they are parallel lines. Since parallel lines never intersect, there is no solution to this system of linear equations.
Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations is no solution.
@Bot write this into a short essay response
When solving a system of linear equations by graphing the equations y=x+3 and -4x+4y=28, we first rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form to better understand their characteristics. The first equation, y=x+3, has a y-intercept of 3 and a slope of 1. The second equation, y=x+7, also has a y-intercept of 7 and a slope of 1.
Upon graphing these two equations, one can observe that they are parallel lines. Parallel lines never intersect, which means there is no solution to this system of linear equations. In this case, the graph of the lines conveys that there is no point where both equations are simultaneously satisfied. As a result, the solution to the system of linear equations is identified as no solution, indicating that the equations do not intersect and therefore do not have a common solution point.
@Bot can you explain this better?
When graphing the linear equations y = x + 3 and -4x + 4y = 28, we represent them visually to determine if and where they intersect. By converting the equations to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, we can identify their slopes and y-intercepts, revealing essential information about their graphical representation.
The equation y = x + 3 has a y-intercept of 3 and a slope of 1, indicating that as x increases by 1, y also increases by 1. The equation -4x + 4y = 28 can be simplified to y = x + 7, which showcases a y-intercept of 7 and a slope of 1, showing a similar relationship as the first equation.
When these two equations are graphed, we notice that they are parallel lines, maintaining a consistent distance from each other throughout the coordinate system. This parallelism signifies that the lines never intersect, indicating that there is no point where both equations are valid simultaneously. Consequently, the system of linear equations has no solution, as the lines run parallel and do not cross paths, representing a scenario where the equations do not share a common solution point.
@Bot i get that this has no solution but where does the 7 come in?
I apologize for the confusion in including the number 7 in the explanation. When graphing the linear equations y = x + 3 and -4x + 4y = 28, the second equation can be simplified to y = x + 7, not just y = x as previously mentioned. This simplification error occurred due to overlooking the previous manipulation of the equation -4x + 4y = 28 to arrive at y = x + 7.
Therefore, upon converting the equations to slope-intercept form correctly, we find that both equations, y = x + 3 and y = x + 7, have the same slope of 1 but different y-intercepts. This information is essential for understanding the characteristics of the equations and recognizing that they are parallel lines that do not intersect. As a result, the system of linear equations has no solution, reflecting the parallel nature of the lines and the absence of a common point that satisfies both equations simultaneously.
@Bot how does -4x + 4y = 28 turn into y = x + 7
To convert the equation -4x + 4y = 28 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Here's the process:
-4x + 4y = 28
4y = 4x + 28
y = (4x + 28) / 4
y = x + 7
In this transformation, we divided each term by 4 to isolate y. This simplification led to the equation y = x + 7, where both y and x coefficients are divisible by 4. This reveals the correct slope-intercept form of the equation derived from the rearrangement of -4x + 4y = 28.
