Hi

y=2x-5  ||(x,y) ordered pairs (0,-5) and (5/2,0) on this Line.  Plot points & connect with Line

y=-x+3. || (x,y) ordered pairs (0,3) and (3,0) on this Line.  Plot points & connect with Line

Explain why solving a system of equation graphically can be difficult: 

fractional values may be involved in the (x,y) ordered pair of the Intersection

2x-5 = -x+3 , x = 8/3  and y = 1/3 , Pt(8/3,1/3) point of Intersection
