You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Plot 2 Pts for each and connect with a Line
Intersect at (-5,4) x = -5, y = 4 is the solution for this system

you have two lines and where they intersect is your solution
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-x+-1%2C+2x+%2B+14%29+
the intersection is (-5,4)
check the answer
y = -x -1
4 = -(-5) - 1 = 4
y = 2x + 14
4 = 2*(-5) + 14 = 4
answer checks in both equations :-)
