<span>you need to set up the equations solve for x or y. and substitute. I can give you the starting equations, but i cant find the answer and I don't remember how to do all the steps, but the first two equations (the ones you use to solve for x or y to use to solve for a number to subsitute. x-12=y y-14=3x and there should be one more for that they met two years ago.</span>
The graph of y = -3x+5
Step 1: Since the y - intercept is 5, plot the point (0,5).
Step 2: Since the slope is -3, move 1 unit to the right and 3 units down, so plot the point (1,2).
Step 3: Connect those points by a straight line.
