A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 2x − 1
y = 4x − 5

Part A: In your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. Write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations. (6 points)

Part B: What is the solution to the pair of equations? (4 points)

campbell_st · Answer

since both equations are equal to y, you can equate them so 

2x -1 = 4x - 5

this will allow you to solve for x. 

when you get a value for x, substitute it into either equation to find y.
