1 solution: (-1,-3)

1) Since we are going to solve these systems graphically, let's begin by setting one pair of t-tables:

b) 2x-y=1, y=-3

2x-y=1 ⇒-y= 1 -2x ⇒ y=2x-1

Now, let's plot those points and trace one increasing line for the first one, and one horizontal line for the constant function y=-3

2) Plotting that system, we can tell the solution is the common point to both equations:

Thus, the answer is (-1,-3)
