Question 198422:  Solve graphically and check: 
           2x+y=10 
           x-y=2

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Solve graphically and check: 
2x+y=10 
x-y=2 
---------------- 
Put both in slope intercept form: 
y = -2x + 10 
y = x - 2 
------------------------- 
Plot a couple of points for each one and draw a line thru each pair. 
y = -2x +10 
If x=0, y = 10 giving you point (0,10) 
If x=1, y = 8 giving you point (1,8) 
------------------------------ 
Y = x -2 
If x = 0, y = -2 giving you point (0,-2) 
If x = 1, y = -1 giving you point (1,-1) 
----------------------------------------------- 
  
-------------------------- 
Solution: (4,2) 
-----------------------------
