Solve with substitution:
y = -2x + 18
y = 8
(5, 8)
(-5, 8)
(2, 8)
(-2, 8)
You can solve systems using these methods:
graphing, substitution, and elimination
rearranging, thinking, and guessing
only by graphing
If you where to graph the equation y = 2x - 3, how would you begin?
By going up 2 and over 1
By placing a point at -3 on the y-axis
By going down 2 and over 3
By going up 2 and over 3
How would you graph y = 1/2 x + 2
Allow your pencil to aimlessly drift across your paper until- Behold! A line is formed!
Place a point at 0.5 on your y-axis. Then go up 2 and right 1 and place your second point. Draw your line.
Start at the origin and go down 1 and over 2 again and again until you see your line.
Place a point at 2 on the y-axis. Then from that point go up 1 and right 2 and place your second point. Draw your line. (Or make a t-chart)
Which method may be fastest if both equations are in standard form with the x's and y's lined up?
