Add -2x to both sides of the first equation so that you can tell by inspection that the slope is -2 and the -intercept is the point . Plot the -intercept. From the -intercept move one unit right and two units down. Plot that point. Draw a line through the two points you just plotted.

By inspection note that the -intercept of the second equation is Plot the -intercept. Determine that the slope of the second equation is . From the -intercept move three units right and one unit down. Plot that point. Draw a line through the two points.

Find the point where the two lines intersect. Your answer is the ordered pair that represents the point of intersection.
