Question 333867: solve by graphing, and then check your ordered pair in both equations by 'plugging it in' to confirm that it is a solution to the system:
x+y= -1
2x-y=4

x+y= -1
y=-x-1 red line
2x-y=4
-y=-2x+4
y=2x-4 green line
Create a graph by saying
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions -x -1 and 2x -4).
Solution (1,-2).
Proofs:
-2=-1-1
-2=-2
-------------
-2=2*1-4
-2=2-4
-2=-2
