Question

What is the solution to the system?

Line 1
x y
–2 –4
–1 –1

Line 2
x y
2 3
3 1

( , )

Answer 1

why not graph them both?
both are LINEar equations, and thus their graph is a LINE

to graph a line, all you need is two points
and you have two for each

plot them both, where they meet, or "intersect", that's the solution to the system

Answer 2

I need help finding the y-intercept

Answer 3

@jdoe0001

Answer 4

well... you really don't need it, just to graph them though

Answer 5

You need the y-intercept to graph, right?

Answer 6

nope
to graph a line, all you need is two points

Answer 7

So, all I need is the slope?

Answer 8

well... you don't....
why not use the points given, and plot both functions?

Answer 9

you could get the equations, sure
and make them slope-intercept form, if you wish and use that
will yield the same though

Answer 10

Is it (1,5)?

Answer 11

Do you still need help on this?

Answer 12

If you put this both to a linear equation (I got from point slope formula)

you get y=3x+2 and y=-2x+7

set these two together

3x+2=-2x+7

x=1

plug that back in to any of the linear equations, and you get 5.

so yeah, your right, it's (1,5)
