A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 6x − 4
y = 5x − 3

Part A: In your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. Write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations.

Part B: What is the solution to the pair of equations?

Slope Intercept Form - y = mx + b

First you need the slope or m which in the first equation is 6 and in the second is 5

Next the y-intercept or b which in the first equation is -4 and in the second is -3

Here is an image of both equation plotted on a graph where the first equation is purple and the second is green

Hope this helps, if you need anything else i will edit it in :)

edit: The to lines intercept at the point (1,2)

Sorry, i wasn't completely sure what you needed i haven't done this in a while. If you still need more, I'll try to help.
