Solve the system graphically and check the solution. 2x+y=10. Y = -2

we have the system

2x+y=10

y=-2

step 1

Find out the intercepts

Line 1

2x+y=10

y-intercept ----> (0,10)

x-intercept ----> (5,0)

Line 2

y=-2

Is a horizontal line that passes through the point (0,-2)

step 2

Graph the given lines

see the attached figure

the intersection point is (6,-2)

that means

the solution is

x=6

y=-2

check the solution

substitute the value of x and y in equation 1

2x+y=10

2(6)+(-2)=10

12-2=10

10=10 ----> is true

that means ----> the solution is correct
