Answer:

I gave a couple solutions as I wasn't sure if you were asking for graphing purposes or substituting y=-x+6 into the second equation 2x-y=-9. So I gave both solutions just in case.

for the first equation y=-x+6, y intercept is (0,6)

for equation two 2x-y=-9, y intercept is (0,9)

In both of the equations the x value is 1.

Solving for y without graphing. Y=9+2x

and x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:substitute i

HOWEVER, if you are saying that the top equation is the value of y, then you substitute it into the bottom equation. 2x--x+6=-9 which would be x=-5

It really depends on what is expected of the question. I wasn't sure which one, so I gave a couple different approaches. If you could give more information, such as, are you graphing, that would be great. I'll keep an eye out for any comments.
