Help me Solve the system of equations by graphing
y=-x-4
4x-y=-1

Answer 1

so can you solve the second equation for y? It will make this easier

Answer 2

either is fine

Answer 3

You need both to solve the system

Answer 4

The first is already in a convenient format, so you need to put the second into a convenient format too

Answer 5

I did the problem and my graph ended up intersecting at 1,-5

Answer 6

Need to know if thats right or not

Answer 7

well, I can show you how to check it yourself if you'd like. All you have to do is put x=1 into both eqs and see if you get y=-5

Answer 8

for both

Answer 9

I am not getting y=-5 for equation 2. I am getting y=5. What did you get?

Answer 10

I got 5=y hehe

Answer 11

so your answer would be incorrect

Answer 12

so, try again and check your point using this method
