Original System: x - 2y = 0; 5x + 2y = 24

In order to graph this system, you need to find the slope of each line and the y intercept of each line. The easiest way to do this is to put both equations into slope intercept form, which is y = mx + b

x - 2y = 0
- x - x
-------------------
2y = -x + 0
------ ---- ----
2 2 2

y = -1/2x

For this equation, the slope is 1. The x intercept is 0.


5x + 2y = 24
- 5x - 5x
------------------------
2y = -5x + 24
------ ------ ------
2 2 2

y = -5/2x + 12

In this equation, the slope is -5/2 and the y intercept is 12.

When you plug in these equations on Desmos, look at the exact point where the lines intersect. This will be your final answer to the system of linear equations.
