Question 744160: Use the graph to identify the solution of the linear system.
There are points going through (0,0) and (2,2)
The second line goes through (0,3) and (1.5,3)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!  The graph shows that a line that passes through (0,0) and (2,2), and a second line that goes through (0,3) and (1.5,3), intersect at (3,3).
(0,0) and (2,2).
 is the equation for the slanted line that passes through
(0,0) and (2,2).
 is the equation for the horizontal line the second (green) line goes through (0,3) and (1.5,3).
The solution of  is the pair (3,3):
 , 
For a graphical solution, the next step would be verifying that those values satisfy both equations.
In this case, we can mentally verify that substituting the pair (3,3) we get  for both equations.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You will need graph paper to do this.
The procedure is this:
1. Plot the points (0,0) and (2,2).
2. Draw the line containing the two points.
3. Plot the points (0,3) and (1.5, 3).
4. Draw the line containing the two points.
5. Find the intersection on the graph of these lines.
6. Read the coordinates (x,y) for this intersection.
