You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 2x + 1
x + y = -2
How do you graph it?
--------------------
There are 2 equations, so the question should be, "How do you graph them?"
----------
Both are straight lines, so you need 2 points.
---
y = 2x + 1
Pick 2 values for x and find y.
Plot the 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.
=====================
Do the same for the other equation.
