y=2x-4
y=6x+4
The first has a slope of +2 and crosses the y-axis at -4.
The second has a steeper slope of +6 and crosses the y-axis at +4
Both go to the right 1 unit; one goes up only 2 units, the other 6 units..

if you have two equations of the line, to sketch a graph you need two points

make a table:
|
|...=>
|...=>=>
plot points and draw a line through

do same with

|
|...=>
|...=>=>=>

plot points and draw a line through



but, if you are given a system to solve, then you need to do it this way:


------------------write in standard form first

Start with the given system of equations:










In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.




So let's solve for y on the first equation


Start with the given equation



Add to both sides



Rearrange the equation



Divide both sides by



Break up the fraction



Reduce



Now lets graph (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)



Graph of




So let's solve for y on the second equation


Start with the given equation



Add to both sides



Rearrange the equation



Divide both sides by



Break up the fraction



Reduce





Now lets add the graph of to our first plot to get:


Graph of (red) and (green)


From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (,) (note: you might have to adjust the window to see the intersection)
