\begin{gathered} 2x-y=-3 \\ -6x-2y=-6 \end{gathered}

Part A

replace (0,3) on (x,y)


\begin{gathered} 2(0)-(3)=-3 \\ 0-3=-3 \\ -3=-3 \end{gathered}

the equivalence is correct so (0,3) is a solution of the first equation

Part B.

replace (0,-3) on (x,y)


\begin{gathered} -6(0)-2(-3)=-6 \\ 0-(-6)=-6 \\ 6=-6 \end{gathered}

the equivalence is incorrect so (0,-3) isnt a solution of the second equation

Part C

To find the slope we need to solve each expresion and take the coefficient of x

first equation


\begin{gathered} 2x-y=-3 \\ y=2x+3 \end{gathered}

the slope is 2

second equation


\begin{gathered} -6x-2y=-6 \\ 2y=-6x+6 \\ y=-3x+3 \end{gathered}

the slope is -3

Part D

the y-intercept is the constant without variable on each equation

first equation


y=2x+3

the y-intercept is 3

second equation


y=-3x+3

the y-intercep is 3 too

The Graph

we need two points of the line and join by a right infinite line

first equation

the points (0,3) and (-3/2,0) belong to the line 1

second equation

the points (0,3) and (1,0) belong to the line 2

Solution of the system

we can note the two lines trought the point (3,0) so this is the solution and we can check matching the equations and solving x


\begin{gathered} 2x+3=-3x+3 \\ 2x+3x=3-3 \\ 5x=0 \\ x=0 \end{gathered}

and replace x=0 on any equation to solve y I will use the first equation


\begin{gathered} y=2x+3 \\ y=2(0)+3 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}

so the solution point is (0,3)
