Question

Can someone answer this

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(-6, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations:

y = -1/6x - 8

y = 2x + 5

When graphed, we get a solution, or point of intersection, at (-6, -7). This is the point at which the two equations are equal to each other. This can even be proven:

-7 = -1/6(-6) - 8

-7 = 1 - 8

-7 = -7

----------------------

-7 = 2(-6) + 5

-7 = -12 + 5

-7 = -7

Thus, proving graphically and algebraically, the solution is at (-6, -7).
