00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:02.310
- [Instructor] We're told the
system of linear equations

00:00:02.310 --> 00:00:04.410
below is graphed on the coordinate grid.

00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:06.360
Okay, we see that.

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.520
Then, it says: What is the value

00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:11.280
of y equals -x - 7

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.350
when x is equal to -8.

00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:15.900
So the graph y equals -x - 7,

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:17.910
that's this blue line here,

00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:19.020
and they tell us, right?

00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:22.470
That the point -8, 1 is on that line.

00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:24.540
So when x is equal to -8,

00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:26.130
y is equal to 1.

00:00:26.130 --> 00:00:27.750
So we could type that in.

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.420
And then, they ask us:

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:34.860
What is the y-value of the bronze line

00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:35.910
or the brown line here,

00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:37.890
y is equal to 1/2x - 1

00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:39.570
when x is equal to -8.

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.980
So we don't even have to compute it.

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:43.350
We see when x is equal to -8,

00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:45.319
we get y is equal to -5,

00:00:45.319 --> 00:00:47.850
so we put -5 there.

00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:49.500
And then, they say:

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.500
Is x equal -8 a solution?

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.860
Well, the only way that x
equals -8 would be a solution

00:00:55.860 --> 00:00:58.470
is if the y value of those lines

00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:00.660
when x equals -8 were the same,

00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:01.680
but they're clearly not.

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:02.970
And in fact, we would see it visually.

00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:03.990
If it was a solution,

00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:06.630
the two lines would intersect
at that point but they don't.

00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:08.010
There's actually two
different points here.

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:09.600
They don't overlap.

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.870
So this is not a solution

00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:13.703
and we're done.
