Answer: look at the graph below

Explanation:

Consider the given system of equation

x + y = -7 ........(1)

4x + y = 19 ..........(2)

Consider the equation (1)

x + y = -7

We first find different values of x and y that satisfies (1),

1) x = 1 , y = -7-1 = -8

We get one point as (1,-8)

2) x= 2 , y = -7 -2 = -9

We get point as (2 ,-9)

3) x = 0 , y = -7

We get point as (0 ,-7)

Similarly, find different values of x and y that satisfies (2),

4x + y = 19

1) x = 2 , y = 19 - 8 = 11

We get point as (0,11)

2) x= 3 , y = 19 - 12 = 7

We get point as (3 , 7)

3) x= 4 , y = 19 - 16 = 3

We get point as (4 ,3)

Now , we plot these point on the graph paper, we obtained graph as, (as attached below)
