HELP PLEASE
y = −x + 2
y = 3x + 1

Which description best describes the solution to the system of equations?

Line y = −x + 2 intersects line y = 3x + 1.
Lines y = −x + 2 and y = 3x + 1 intersect the x-axis.
Lines y = −x + 2 and y = 3x + 1 intersect the y-axis.
Line y = −x + 2 intersects the origin.

Answer 1

Hey why don't you graph it?

Answer 2

these are your x and y intercepts for your first equation connect the dots, also note that your equations are set up as y=mx+b format, which is equation of a line, where b is the y - intercept, and m is the slope.

To solve for y - intercept (it's given +2) but you set x = 0 and solve for y
To solve for x - intercept we set y = 0 and solve for x.
