Answer:
y=2x-1 , y=x+2 , the solution of the system is (1,1)
Explanation:
Lines can be expressed in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
m= rise/run
Looking at the blue line:
m =2/1 =2
The slope is 2 since you rise 2 squares and run to the right one square.
We see that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,-1) so the y-intercept is -1.
Putting it all together: y=2x-1
Looking at the red line:
m = -1 / 1 = -1
We see that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,2) so the y-intercept is 2.
Putting it all together: y=1x+2 or simply y=x+2
The solution to the system is the point that satisfies both equations. Rather than solving it algebraically, we can simply look at the graph and find a point that is on both lines, aka the intersection. In this case, the intersection is (1,1).
