Graph the linear system and tell how many solutions it has. If there is exactly one solution, give the solution
4X-5Y=2
8X+Y=4

Step 1. Graphing the above linear system of equations yields the following

graph%28600%2C600%2C+-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C+4x%2F5-1%2F2%2C+-8x%2B4%29

Step 2. Based on the above graph the intersection point is (0.5, 0) or x=0.5 and y=0.

Check if this point (0.5, 0) satisfies the above system of equations and it does.

Step 3. ANSWER: The intersection point (0.5, 0) is a solution to the above system of equations.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
