how do i solve the system by graphing:
E1: x + y = 4
E2: y = 2x + 1
For E1, let x=0 and y=?
0+y=4
y=4 Plot (0,4)
Now let y=0 and x=?
x+0=4
x=4 Plot (4,0)
Connect the points and you have this line:

For E2, let x=0 and y=?
y=2(0)+1
y=0+1
y=1 Plot (0,1)
Now let x=2 and y=?
y=2(2)+1
y=4+1
y=5 Plot (0,5)
Connect the points and you have a second line:

Their point of intersection is the solution: (x,y)=(1,3)
Happy Calculating!!!
