00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:02,310
- [Instructor] We're told the
system of linear equations

2
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:04,410
below is graphed on the coordinate grid.

3
00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:06,360
Okay, we see that.

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,520
Then, it says: What is the value

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,280
of y equals -x - 7

6
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,350
when x is equal to -8.

7
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:15,900
So the graph y equals -x - 7,

8
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,910
that's this blue line here,

9
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:19,020
and they tell us, right?

10
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:22,470
That the point -8, 1 is on that line.

11
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,540
So when x is equal to -8,

12
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:26,130
y is equal to 1.

13
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:27,750
So we could type that in.

14
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:30,420
And then, they ask us:

15
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:34,860
What is the y-value of the bronze line

16
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:35,910
or the brown line here,

17
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:37,890
y is equal to 1/2x - 1

18
00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:39,570
when x is equal to -8.

19
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:40,980
So we don't even have to compute it.

20
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:43,350
We see when x is equal to -8,

21
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:45,319
we get y is equal to -5,

22
00:00:45,319 --> 00:00:47,850
so we put -5 there.

23
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:49,500
And then, they say:

24
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:52,500
Is x equal -8 a solution?

25
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,860
Well, the only way that x
equals -8 would be a solution

26
00:00:55,860 --> 00:00:58,470
is if the y value of those lines

27
00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:00,660
when x equals -8 were the same,

28
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:01,680
but they're clearly not.

29
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,970
And in fact, we would see it visually.

30
00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:03,990
If it was a solution,

31
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:06,630
the two lines would intersect
at that point but they don't.

32
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:08,010
There's actually two
different points here.

33
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:09,600
They don't overlap.

34
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,870
So this is not a solution

35
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:13,703
and we're done.
