y=-x-1
y=2x-4
---
x + y = -1
2x - y = 4
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = -1
2x - y = 4
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

The two lines intersect at the point (1,-2).
You can check by plugging in to each equation
y=-x-1
-2=-1-1
-2=-2
and
y=2x-4
-2=2-4
-2=-2
