This equation is written in slope intercept form
Remember that the slope intercept formula is:
y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this case:
slope (m) is 2
y-intercept (b) is (0, - 1)
To plot this on a coordinate plane plot the y-intercept (0, -1).
To graph the rest of the line you can use what you know about the slope. Rise up two units and over to the right one unit from the y-intercept. You should arrive at the point (1, 1)
Then, again from the y-intercept, go down two units and to the left one unit. You should arrive at the point (-1, -3)
Now draw a straight line through the y-intercept and the other two points you just found
The image of the graph is shown below

(- 2, - 3) is a solution to the given system of equations.
Answer: Option D
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given equation are not presented in proper format. So, let assume the given system of are as below,
2 x - y = -1
2 x -4 y = 8
Now, subtract the second equation from the first, we get
(2 x - y) -(2 x - 4 y) = -1 -8
3 y = -9
y = -3 (obtained this when divide by 3)
Substituting y = - 3 into the first equation, we get
2 x - (-3) = - 1
2 x = - 1 + 3
x = - 2 (obtained when divide by 2)
Now, the answer is (x, y) = (- 2, - 3)
