Question 198080: I really have been confused for a while on this question and can't seem to figure it out.
Find the solution of the system of equations by graphing.
-5x + y = -5
-4x+ 2y = 2
I tried to graph it and I got the point (2,6). I don't know if I did it right or wrong but I need help thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the solution of the system of equations by graphing.
-5x + y = -5
-4x+ 2y = 2
----------------------
Put both in the slope-intercept form:
y = 5x -5
Plot two points:
Let x=0, then y = -5 giving point (0,-5)
Let x = 1, then y = 0 giving point (1,0)
Draw a line thru the two lines.
---------------------------------------------
y = 2x + 1
Let x = 0, then y = 1 giving point (0,1)
Let x = 1, then y = 3 giving point (1,3)
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them.
---------------------
Intersection at (2,5)
===============================
Cheers,
Stan H.
