Answer: (-4, 1)
Explanation:
To solve graphically, change each equation into slope-intercept form
(y = mx + b)
3x + 4y = -8
+8 +8
3x + 4y + 8 = 0
-4y -4y
3x + 8 = -4y
Divide both sides by -4 to get y by itself
-3/4x - 2 = y or y = -3/4x - 2
Do the same for the other equation.
-x + y = 5
+x +x
y = 5 + x or y = x + 5
Plug in the equations graphically. The point at which the two lines intercept is your answer.
