Answer:


Explanation:

1. y = -2x + 7

2. Graph it (Mark (0, 7) or 7 on the y axis and go over one, down two, mark it and draw a line through both)

3. -2y = -x + 6

4. divide entire equation by 2 to isolate y

5. -y = -x + 3

6. multiply entire equation by -1 to make it positive

7. y=x+3

8. graph it (Mark (0,3) and go over one, down one, mark it and draw a line through both new points)

9. Where the lines intersect is your answer
