Question 27841: How would I go about solving a problem such as this? They want me to graph each system of linear equations to find its solution.
x-5y=-30
2x-y=3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To graph these, first get the equations into the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
1) x-5y+=+-30 is y+=+%281%2F5%29x%2B6
2) 2x-y+=+3 is y+=+2x-3
Now you can graph them:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-35%2C8%2C-5%2C8%2C%281%2F5%29x%2B6%2C2x-3%29
It's a little hard to read from the graph, but the point of intersection (solution) is: (5, 7)
