Answer: (-4, -1)
Explanation: Since these lines are already graphed, we are looking for their point of intersection. This point where the two lines intersect will represent the x and y that is the solution to this system of equations.
The two lines intersect in quadrant III
where x and y are both negative.
When finding the coordinates of a given point,
be very careful with your signs.
Let's just do a quick review on the coordinate system. On the x-axis, left means negative and right means positive and on the y-axis, down means negative and up means positive.
So to find the coordinates for this point, we start at the origin.
Then we move to the left 4 and down 1 so that's (-4, -1).
So the solution to this system is (-4, -1).
