Graph the system of equations. {2x - y =4 {x - y = -2
1 answer:
Answer:
See attachment
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system is
2x-y=4
x-y=-2
We write the system in slope-intercept form:
y=2x-4
y=x+2
The first equation has slope of 2 and y-intercept at (0,-4)
When y=0, x=2.
We plot (0,-4) and (2,0) to graph this first equation.
The second equation has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept at (0,2)
Also when y=0, x=-2.
We plot (0,2) and (-2,0) and draw a straight line through them.
The graph of the system is shown in the attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear equation in slope intercept form which is
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The equation
Has a slope of -1/3 so this means that the slope will be decreasing. A negative linear equation increases as we go left. and decreases as we go right. The y intercept is 2. So this means the graph must pass through (0,2) and when x=0, y must be 2.
In other words, look for a line that the y values increase as we go left and decrease we go right. Also look for a point (0,2) and make sure the graph pass through it.
