Please help! How would you graph this linear system?
y= 5/4 x+3
y= 1/4 x-1

I would only graph the x & y intercepts
so for the x-int you make y=0  
                                      0=5/4x+3
                                    -3=5/4x
                                -12x=5
                                      x=-5/12
                                      now you have one point (-5/12,0)
              y-int you make x=0
                                     y=5/4(0) + 3
                                     y=3
                                     now you have the second point (0,3)
That is only for the first equation, try do the same urself for the second one.
