Question

solve the system of equations below by graphing both equations with a pencil and paper what is the solution?

y=-3x+1
y=-x+5

anonymous · Answer

it would be a lot easier and quicker to solve 
$$-3x+1=-x+5$$ for $x$ in three steps
then find $y$

A. (3,2)

B. (0,5)

C. (-2,7) 

C. (-1,4)

anonymous · Answer

if you don't feel like solving that equation for $x$ check your answer choices and see which one works 
solving is probably easier though

just graph 
y=-3x+1 (one in blue ink)
y=-x+5 (one in red ink)
letting x be any number you choose and the point of intersection of these two lines will be the answer.
