Remark
The very easiest way to do this is by substitution. The ys are isolated on the left. When you equate what's on the right, you can solve this for 1 variable, the xs.
Substitute and solve
8x - 9 = 4x -1 Subtract 4x from both sides.
8x - 4x - 9 = - 1
4x - 9 = - 1 Add 9 to both sides.
4x = - 1 + 9
4x = 8 Divide by 4
x = 8/4
x = 2
Solve for y
Use either equation to solve for y.
y = 4x - 1
y = 4(2) - 1
y = 8 - 1
y = 7
Answer
The equations intersect at (2,7)
Part B
See the graph below. Notice the intersect point.
