Solve the system by graphing.
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "2x – y = 8
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve each equation for \"y\".
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/3)x -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plot points for each equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/3)x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = -1
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 3, y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "Plot the points: (0,-1) and (3,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "and draw a line thru them.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = -8
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 1, y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "plot the points: (0,-8) and (1,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "and draw a line thru them.
\n" ); document.write( "=============================

\n" ); document.write( "Solution: (3,-2)
