Solve the system by graphing. 4x + 2y = 10 y = 4 First graph Get some points on the line: (0,5), (2,1), (3,-1) Plot those and draw a line through them.Now draw the other line on the same set of axes, It is a horizontal line 4 units above the x-axis: Draw a vertical line through their point of intersection. It cuts the x axis at x = and the horizontal line cuts the y-axis at 4, so the solution is x = , y = 4, sometimes written (x,y) = ( ,4) Edwin
