Explanation:
I find a graphing calculator to be the quickest way to create a graph of a system of equations. That result is attached.
__
If you want to graph the equations by hand, you need to know a couple of points on each line. When the equations are in slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is often a good place to start. Another point is usually easy to find based on the slope of the line, starting at the y-intercept.
__
Here, the equations are not in that form, but are in the form ax+by=c. In this form, it is often easy to find both the x- and y-intercepts and use those points to plot the line. Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero.
x-intercept: c/a
y-intercept: c/b
__
For the given lines, the first equation has intercepts (2, 0) and (0, 2). The line has a slope of -1 and makes an isosceles triangle with the axes in the first quadrant.
The second equation has intercepts (-1, 0) and (0, 2). This line has a slope of +2 and makes a triangle with the axes in the second quadrant.
