y = -5x + 6 .................1
y = -3x - 2......................1
first equate the two equations to find x and y
-5x + 6 = -3x - 2
-5x +3x = -2 - 6
-2x = -8
x = -8/-2
x = 4
Next substitute x in equation 1
y = 5(4) + 6
y = 20 + 6
y = 26
Graphically,
y = -5x + 6
for x = 0
y = -5 x 0 + 6
y = 6
for y = 0
0 = -5x + 6
5x = 6
x = 6/5
x = 1.2
fiirst plot the coordinate (0,6) and (1.2,0) on the graph for the first equation to get the first straight line.
y = -3x - 2
x = 0
y = -3 x 0 - 2
y = -2
y = 0
0 = -3x - 2
3x = -2
x = -2/3
x = -0.67
plot the coordinate on the graph
solution for this question is (4,26)
