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

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either is fine

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

You need both to solve the system

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Need to know if thats right or not

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

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

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

for both

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 5=y hehe

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so your answer would be incorrect

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so, try again and check your point using this method
