Question 26206: y=2x-1
y=x+1
i have no idea how to solve by graphing can you show step by step not
concerned about just answer

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THese are already in slope-intercept form, so you ould graph them;
eq.1;
y-intercept=-1
slope = 2%2F1
eq.2;
y-intercepr=1
slope = 1%2F1
So on the graph you will make a your first point at (0,-1)
From that point you will go up 2 units and to the right 1;
Your next point should be (1,1);
Then from there go up 2 units and right 1;
3rd point (2,3);
Eq.2;
You will start at point (0,1);
Fom that point go up 1 unit and to th right 1, your second point should be (1,2);
From that point go up 1 unit and to the right, 3rd point (2,3), lets do 1 more point;
so from point (2,3) go up 1 unit and to the right 1 (3,4)
Where those lines intersect, that point will be the solution for both eq.
