Question

Graph the system of equations on your graph paper to answer the question.

{y=x−4 y=−x+6



What is the solution for this system of equations?

Answer 1

The solution is the point (5,1)

Explanation:

we have

`y=x-4` -----> equation A

`y=-x+6` -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system by graphing is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (5,1)

see the attached figure

Note: In this problem the lines are perpendicular because the slopes of the lines are opposite reciprocal
