Hard to figure out lol
y=x^2−3x+7
y=3x−2
What is the y-coordinate of the solution?
Thanks a million!! :)
y=x^2−3x+7
y=3x−2
Set yhe y's equal and we have that
x^2 - 3x + 7 = 3x - 2 subtract 3x / add 2 from/to both sides
x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0 factor
(x - 3)^2 = 0 which implies that x = 3
So.......plug 3 into either function and we get that y = 3(3) - 2 = 7
Set it so that \(x^2-3x+7=3x-2\) .
Now bring over to the left side: \(x^2-6x+9=0\)
We can find out that \(x=3\).
Now plug it in to \(y=3x-2 => y=3(3)-2 => y=7\)
Therefore, the y-coordinate is 7.
You are very welcome!
:P
