Question 254136
where in the a graph do the points Y=-2+-x and y=6-2x meet

1) y = -2 - x
2) y = 6 - 2x

Based on equation 2 substitute 6 - 2x for y in equation 1. Then we have:

6 - 2x = -2 - x

Solve for x:

x = 8

Substitute 8 for x in equation 2:

y = 6 - 2*8
y = 6 - 16 = -10

The common point is (8,-10).
