Solve the system equation by graphing
5x+y=-6
2x-y=-8
-----------
These are linear eqns, so the graphs are straight lines.
5x+y=-6
y = -5x - 6
Pick 2 values for x and find y
Plot the 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.
------
Do the same for the other eqn.
Where they intersect is the solution of the system, the x & y values that fit both equations.
