Hi,

Using the graphing method to solve the following system of equations.

I. Find (x,y) ordered pairs where each EQ crosses the x and y-axis

II Plot those points for  each and connect with their respective lines

III Determine the (x,y) ordered pair, where the Lines intersect as tha tis the solution for this system 

3x - 6y = 12   ||(x,y) ordered pairs: (4,0) and (0,-2) on this Line (Pts connected with Green Line)

9x + 2y = -24  ||(x,y) ordered pairs: (-24/9,0) and (0,-12) on this Line(Pts connected with Blue Line)

(x,y) ordered pair (-2,-3) is the solution for this system of EQs
