Question

Solve this system of equations by graphing. First graph the equations, and then type the solution.y=4/5x+1 y=-3/5x-6

Answer 1

We are to solve the equations

`\begin{gathered} y=(4)/(5)x+1 \\ \text{and } \\ y=-(3)/(5)x-6 \\ by\text{ graphing} \end{gathered}`

Plot the graphs of both equations and identify the coordinate of the points of intersection of the two graphs. The solution of the equations is the value of x and y where the graph cut each other

The graph of the equations is shown below

The solution of the equations is the points (-5, -3)

That is,

x = -5 and y = -3
