A system of equations is shown below:
y = 2x - 1
y = 4x - 5
Part A: Identify the slope and y-intercept for each equation. In your own words, explain how you can
solve the pair of equations by graphing. (8 points)

Part B: Graph the two equation on the attached graph paper. What is the solution to the pair of
equations written in (x, y) form? (5 points)

PART A-okay so the first equations slope is 2 and the second equations slope is 4 I know because slope is always gonna be the second number because y=slope+y intercept

PART 2-I’m not too sure about this one cause I can’t really show you a graph but I will say y intercept is the vertical line kn the center of the graph so make sure it lines. Up with that if you undertsand what I’m saying if not ignore this cause I don’t mean to confuse you.
Good luck
