2.) What is the y- coordinate for the SOLUTION to the following system of
equations? (Note: although you do not HAVE to graph, it is suggested.)
y = -x- 2
by = 4(x - 1) + 7

Answer:

y-coordinate for the SOLUTION to the following system of

equations will be:

  • y=-1

The graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

[tex]y\:=\:-x-\:2[/tex]

[tex]y\:=\:4\left(x\:-\:1\right)\:+\:7[/tex]

Let us solve the system of equations to determine the y- coordinate

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}y=-x-2\\ y=4\left(x-1\right)+7\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]y-4x=3[/tex]

[tex]-[/tex]

[tex]\underline{y+x=-2}[/tex]

[tex]-5x=5[/tex]

so

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}y+x=-2\\ -5x=5\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

solve -5x=5 for x

[tex]-5x=5[/tex]

Divide both sides by -5

[tex]\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{5}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]x=-1[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}y+x=-2\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}x=-1[/tex]

[tex]y-1=-2[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides

[tex]y-1+1=-2+1[/tex]

[tex]y=-1[/tex]

Thus, y-coordinate for the SOLUTION to the following system of

equations will be:

  • y=-1
