And you used this same procedure to graph the equation. This points out an important fact: Every point on the graph was a solution to the equation, and any solution to the equation was a point on the graph. Now consider the following two-variable system of linear equations: y = 3 x â 2 y = â x â 6.
Beginning in 1630, Governor John Winthrop, with the company charter tightly in hand, guided the arrival of nearly 1000 colonists to the New World. The initial parties stopped first at Salem, but soon established a permanent settlement on the Shawmut Peninsula of Massachusetts Bay (later to be called Boston).he Massachusetts Bay Company and the colony were one and the same until 1684, when the charter was taken away.
