4x-y-1=0
2x-y+5=0
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
4x-y=1
2x-y=-5
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

---
x= 3
y= 11
intersection point = (3,11)
---
find the line through the two points:
(-2,1) and (3,11)
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (two given points):
-2,1,3,11
into the "Two-Point form: x1 y1 x2 y2" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (-2.5, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 5)
slope = 2
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form:
y = 2x + 5
