Question 59266
y=3x-7
y=-x+1
We're looking for when their x=x and y=y, so set the problems equal to each other.
3x-7=-x+1
3x+x-7=x-x+1
4x-7=1
4x-7+7=1+7
4x=8
4x/4=8/4
x=2
Let x=2 and solve for y in one of the equations.
y=-(2)+1
y=-1
The solution is:(2,-1)
Graphically, it's their point of intersection:
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,3x-7,-x+1)}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
