Multiple solutions
February 13, 2017
We were looking at how to prove a point (3,5) is the intersection of two given lines y=x+2 and y=-2x+11.
Some solved the system by substitution
Some substituted x and calculated y for each line
Some made tables of values for the lines and checked if (3,5) was on both lines
Some substituted x and y and verified that the two sides remained equal
Some solved by graphing
It’s pretty awesome to have so many ways to approach a question! Many thanks to those who explained their work today.
