Questions: 2x + y = 5
y = mx + b
y = -2x + 5
-2x + y = 1
Transcript text: 2x + y = 5
y = mx + b
y = -2x + 5
-2x + y = 1
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Rewrite the first equation in slope-intercept form.
The first system of equations is:
2x + y = 5
-2x + y = 1
To rewrite the first equation in slope-intercept form, isolate _y_:
2x + y = 5
y = -2x + 5
Step 2: Rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form.
To rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form, isolate _y_:
-2x + y = 1
y = 2x + 1
Step 3: Identify the solution to the system of equations.
The graphed solution shows the intersection point of the two lines is at (0,5) and (1,1).
Also, adding the original two equations:
2x + y = 5
-2x + y = 1
2y = 6
y = 3
Substituting y=3 into the first original equation:
2x + 3 = 5
2x = 2
x = 1
Thus, the solution to this first system is (1,3). This also matches the circled solution on the page.
Step 4: Rewrite the second equation from the image.
The second set of equations is:
y=mx+b
-2x+y=1
Rewriting the second equation:
y=2x+1
Step 5: Identify the solution to the second system of equations.
The solution to this system of equations is y = 2x + 1. The points (0,1) and (1,-1) are circled and are incorrect. The line y=2x+1 passes through the points (0,1), (1,3), and (2,5), as shown on the graph.
Final Answer
The solution to the first system of equations 2x + y = 5 and -2x + y = 1 is (1,3). The second system of equations y = mx + b and -2x + y = 1 represents the linear equation y=2x + 1, containing points such as (0,1), (1,3) and (2,5).
