Answer:


(6, -1)

Skills needed: Solutions of a System

Explanation:

1) We are given a system of equations on a graph, and we have to determine the solution of this system with this.

- The important thing to know: The solution of a system is the intersection point of the lines.

---> In this problem, we are given two lines, the blue line, and the red line, and the solution would be when these two lines cross each other.

2) We can see that the point where they cross each other based on the graph. The graph is a useful visual aid. Check the diagram attached to see the intersection point.

3) So, based on the diagram I have attached, you see the point. When going left to right, that is the
x-axis, and up and down is the
y-axis.

--> When going left to right, the value of the point of intersection is
6.

--> When going up and down, the value of the point of intersection is
-1.


(x, y) is the way to put the coordinate point

-->
x is the
x-axis value

-->
y is the
y-axis value

Therefore,
(6, -1) would be the answer.
