To graph the system of linear equations given by:
1. \(-\frac{1}{2}y = \frac{1}{2}x + 5\)
2. \(y = 2x + 2\)
We will first rewrite both equations in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.
### Rewriting Equation 1
Starting with \(-\frac{1}{2}y = \frac{1}{2}x + 5\), we multiply both sides by \(-2\) to isolate \(y\):
\[
y = -x - 10
\]
### Equation 2
The second equation is already in slope-intercept form:
\[
y = 2x + 2
\]
### Finding the Intersection (Solution)
To find the solution of the system, we need to set the two equations equal to each other:
\[
-x - 10 = 2x + 2
\]
### Solving for \(x\)
Let's solve for \(x\):
1. Add \(x\) to both sides:
\[
-10 = 3x + 2
\]
2. Subtract \(2\) from both sides:
\[
-12 = 3x
\]
3. Divide by \(3\):
\[
x = -4
\]
### Finding \(y\)
Now plug \(x = -4\) back into either original equation to find \(y\). Using the second equation:
\[
y = 2(-4) + 2 = -8 + 2 = -6
\]
### Solution
The solution to the system of equations is:
\[
(x, y) = (-4, -6)
\]
### Graphing the Equations
1. **For \(y = -x - 10\)**:
- Y-intercept: at (0, -10)
- Slope: -1 (down 1, right 1)
2. **For \(y = 2x + 2\)**:
- Y-intercept: at (0, 2)
- Slope: 2 (up 2, right 1)
### Conclusion
The graphical representation of both lines will intersect at the point \((-4, -6)\), which is the solution to the system.
So the final answer is:
\[
\text{The solution to the system is } (-4, -6).
\]

To analyze the system of equations:
1. \(2y = x + 10\)
2. \(3y = 3x + 15\)
we can start by rewriting both equations in slope-intercept form (i.e., \(y = mx + b\)), from which we can easily derive characteristics like slope and y-intercept.
### Rewrite Both Equations
**Equation 1:** \(2y = x + 10\)
Dividing both sides by \(2\):
\[

To find the solution for the given system of equations, we first need to interpret and rewrite the equations correctly.
We have:
1. \(3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 6\)
2. \(y - \frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3\)
### Step 1: Simplify the Equations
#### For the first equation:
\[
3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 6
\]
To express \(y\), divide both sides by \(3\):
\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2
\]
#### For the second equation:
Starting with:
\[
y - \frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3
\]
Combine like terms on the left:
\[
\frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3
\]
Now, isolate \(y\):
Multiply everything by \(2\) to eliminate the fraction:
\[
y - \frac{1}{2}x = 6
\]
Therefore,
\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x + 6
\]
### Step 2: Set the Equations Equal to Each Other
Now we have the two equations in slope-intercept form:
1. \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2\) (Equation 1)
2. \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 6\) (Equation 2)
Since both equations have the same slope (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) but different y-intercepts (\(2\) and \(6\)), these lines are parallel.
### Conclusion
Parallel lines do not intersect, which means:
- The system has **no solution**.
### Summary of the Options
The correct answer to the question is:
- **No solution.**
We have:
1. \(3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 6\)
2. \(y - \frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3\)
### Step 1: Simplify the Equations
#### For the first equation:
\[
3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 6
\]
To express \(y\), divide both sides by \(3\):
\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2

\[
y - \frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3
\]
Combine like terms on the left:
\[
\frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3
\]
Now, isolate \(y\):
Multiply everything by \(2\) to eliminate the fraction:
\[
y - \frac{1}{2}x = 6
\]
Therefore,
\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x + 6
\]

Now we have the two equations in slope-intercept form:
1. \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2\) (Equation 1)
2. \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 6\) (Equation 2)
Since both equations have the same slope (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) but different y-intercepts (\(2\) and \(6\)), these lines are parallel.
### Conclusion
Parallel lines do not intersect, which means:
- The system has **no solution**.
### Summary of the Options
The correct answer to the question is:
- **No solution.**

To solve the system of linear equations by graphing, we will first rewrite both equations in slope-intercept form (i.e., \(y = mx + b\)).
### Given Equations
1. \(2x + 3y = 16.9\)
2. \(5x = y + 7.4\)
### Step 1: Rewrite the First Equation
For the first equation \(2x + 3y = 16.9\):
1. Subtract \(2x\) from both sides:
\[
3y = -2x + 16.9
\]
2. Divide by \(3\):
\[
y = -\frac{2}{3}x + \frac{16.9}{3} \approx -\frac{2}{3}x + 5.6333
\]
### Step 2: Rewrite the Second Equation
For the second equation \(5x = y + 7.4\):
1. Subtract \(7.4\) from both sides:
\[
y = 5x - 7.4
\]
### Step 3: Graphing the Equations
1. **First Equation**: \(y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 5.6333\)
- Y-intercept: \(\left(0, \frac{16.9}{3}\right) \approx (0, 5.63)\)
- Slope: \(-\frac{2}{3}\) (down 2, right 3)
2. **Second Equation**: \(y = 5x - 7.4\)
- Y-intercept: \((0, -7.4)\)
- Slope: \(5\) (up 5, right 1)
### Step 4: Finding the Intersection
To find the intersection point of these lines, we can set the equations equal to each other:
\[
-\frac{2}{3}x + 5.6333 = 5x - 7.4
\]
### Step 5: Solve for \(x\)
1. Clear the equation of fractions by multiplying through by \(3\):
\[
-2x + 16.8999 = 15x - 22.2
\]
2. Rearranging gives:
\[
-2x - 15x = -22.2 - 16.8999
\]
\[
-17x = -39.0999
\]
3. Divide by \(-17\):
\[
x \approx \frac{39.0999}{17} \approx 2.295
\]
### Step 6: Substitute \(x\) Back to Find \(y\)
Using \(x \approx 2.295\) in the second equation \(y = 5x - 7.4\):
\[
y = 5(2.295) - 7.4 \approx 11.475 - 7.4 \approx 4.075
\]
### Rounding to the Nearest Tenth
Rounded to the nearest tenth, we have:
- \(x \approx 2.3\)
- \(y \approx 4.1\)
### Step 7: Final Answer
Thus, the solution to the system of linear equations is:
\[

\]
### Step 2: Rewrite the Second Equation
For the second equation \(5x = y + 7.4\):
1. Subtract \(7.4\) from both sides:
\[
y = 5x - 7.4
\]
### Step 3: Graphing the Equations
1. **First Equation**: \(y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 5.6333\)
- Y-intercept: \(\left(0, \frac{16.9}{3}\right) \approx (0, 5.63)\)
- Slope: \(-\frac{2}{3}\) (down 2, right 3)
2. **Second Equation**: \(y = 5x - 7.4\)
- Y-intercept: \((0, -7.4)\)
- Slope: \(5\) (up 5, right 1)
### Step 4: Finding the Intersection
To find the intersection point of these lines, we can set the equations equal to each other:
\[
-\frac{2}{3}x + 5.6333 = 5x - 7.4
\]
### Step 5: Solve for \(x\)
1. Clear the equation of fractions by multiplying through by \(3\):
\[
-2x + 16.8999 = 15x - 22.2
\]
2. Rearranging gives:
\[
-2x - 15x = -22.2 - 16.8999
\]
\[
-17x = -39.0999
\]
3. Divide by \(-17\):
\[
x \approx \frac{39.0999}{17} \approx 2.295
\]
### Step 6: Substitute \(x\) Back to Find \(y\)
Using \(x \approx 2.295\) in the second equation \(y = 5x - 7.4\):
\[
y = 5(2.295) - 7.4 \approx 11.475 - 7.4 \approx 4.075
\]
### Rounding to the Nearest Tenth
Rounded to the nearest tenth, we have:
- \(x \approx 2.3\)
