Question

What is the solution of the system? Use a graph.	
y = x + 5 
y = –5x – 1

campbell_st · Answer

well generate a table of values for each line

y = x + 5

x:  0  :  1  :  2
y:  5  ;  6   :  7

plot the ordered pairs (0, 5), (1, 6) and (2, 7) draw a long line passing through all 3 points. 

similar for the other line

y = -5x - 1

x:  0 :  1  :  2 
y:  -1  -6 :  -11

plot the ordered pairs (0, -1) (1, -6) and (2, -11) draw the long line

the solution is the point where the 2 lines intersect
