Question

Can anybody please help me??

Answer 1

Answer:

  (x, y) = (6, 1) is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the equations is written in "slope-intercept" form:

  y = mx + b . . . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

First equation

  The y-intercept is +7 and the slope is -1. That means the line goes down 1 unit for each unit it goes to the right. It will go through the points (0, 7) and (7, 0).

Second equation

  The y-intercept is -2 and the slope is 1/2. That means the line goes up 1 unit for each 2 units it goes to the right. It will go through the points (0, -2) and (4, 0).

The lines will intersect at the point (6, 1), which is the solution found by graphing.
