Question

A pair of linear equations is shown below:

y = −x + 1
y = 2x + 4

Which of the following statements best explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically? (4 points)

On a graph, plot the line y = −x + 1, which has y-intercept = −1 and slope = 1, and y = 2x + 4, which has y-intercept = 2 and slope = 4, and write the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines as the solution.

Answer 1

On a graph, plot the line y = −x + 1, which has y-intercept = 1 and slope = −1, and y = 2x + 4, which has y-intercept = 4 and slope = 2, and write the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines as the solution.

Explanation:

y = mx + b

b is the y-intercept

m is the slope

(y = 2x + 4: 2 is slope, 4 is y-int)
