put this solution on YOUR website! What are the coordinates for the point where
the line whose equation is 2x+y=11 crosses
the line whose equation is y=x-1
We find some points on each line:
2x+y=11 y=x-1
x|y x|y
0|11 0|-1
1|9 1|0
5|1 5|4
We plot the points and draw a line through them, and
we look to see what point they cross at:
If we draw a green line from the point where they cross
down to the x-axis, and draw a red line from it over to
the y-axis, we see that it touches the x-axis at x=4
and the y-axis at y=3. Those are the answers for the
first problem.
