Question

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

y=x+2
y=−x+8

What is the solution for this system of equations?

Answer 1

(3, 5)

Explanation:

You want the graph and solution for the system of equations y=x+2, y=-x+8.

Graph

The graph of the system is attached.

The first equation has a y-intercept of 2 and a slope of +1.

The second equation has a y-intercept of 8 and a slope of -1.

The lines intersect at the solution point: (x, y) = (3, 5).
