PLEASE HELP

A pair of linear equations is shown:

y = −2x + 3
y = −4x − 1

Which of the following statements best explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically?
Graph the first equation, which has slope = 3 and y-intercept = −2, graph the second equation, which has slope = −1 and y-intercept = −4, and find the point of intersection of the two lines.
Graph the first equation, which has slope = −3 and y-intercept = 2, graph the second equation, which has slope = 1 and y-intercept = 4, and find the point of intersection of the two lines.

Answer 2

Answer: Choice C

Graph the first equation (slope = -2; y intercept = 3) and the second equation (slope = -4; y intercept = -1). Find where they intersect.

Both equations are of the form y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For the second equation, it might help to write y = -4x-1 as y = -4x+(-1).
