You can put this solution on YOUR website!
SEE THE FOLLWING EXAMPLE AND TRY.
YOU FIND THAT THE 2 LINES INTERSECT IN THIS CASE AT X= 4 AND Y = -1
HENCE THAT IS THE SOLUTION.
I need to solve the system by graphing:
x + y = 3...........y = 3-x............1
x + y = -1 ..........y = -1-x
x..................0..........1................5.........etc.........
y =3-x.............3...........2...............-2........etc..
y=-1-x.............-1..........-2................-6.....etc.....
now plot the points . see graph below.

+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+3-x%2C+-1-x%29+
they are 2 parallel lines which do not meet hence no solution.
Thank you,
Ashley
