If a system of linear equations has a solution, that solution corresponds to the intersection point of the two lines because the coordinate pair naming every point on a graph is a solution to its corresponding equation.

Then, graph the two lines in coordinate plane:

So, by the graph, we can see that the point of intersection would be (2,1).

The solution for the system of linear functions is (2,1).
