Question 453557: I'm trying to solve this system of equations by graphing:
5x+ y=32
6x+ 7=-8
What is the ordered pair?
Answer by edjones(8007)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's a dot on the graph.
5x + y=32
If x=0 then y=32 and the ordered pair is (0, 32)
if x=1 then y=27 and the ordered pair is (1, 27)
if x=-1 then y=37 and the ordered pair is (-1, 37)
Connect the dots on graph paper and you have a straight line.
Do the same to the 2nd equation (you didn't put in a y after the 7) and draw a line the ordered pair where the lines cross is the answer to the system of equations.
