Answer:

(4, -1)

Explanation:

Given equations:


y=(3)/(2)x-7


y=-x+3

To plot the lines, find 2 points for each equation and draw a straight line through them.


\textsf{For }\quad y=(3)/(2)x-7:


x=0 \implies y=(3)/(2)(0)-7=-7 \implies (0,-7)


x=6 \implies y=(3)/(2)(6)-7=2 \implies (6,2)


\textsf{For }\quad y=-x+3:


x=0 \implies y=-(0)+3=3 \implies (0,3)


x=6 \implies y=-(6)+3=-3 \implies (6,-3)

The solution to the system of equations is the point of intersection:

Therefore, from inspection of the graph, the solution is (4, -1)
