So, both equations are essentially linear equations.
Linear equations are written in the format y = mx+b, where m represents the slope/slope intercept and b represents the y-intercept.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part A
the slope and y-intercept
y = mx +b
m - the slope; b- y-intercept
therefore;
y = 6x - 4
m = 6; b = -4
y = 5x - 3
m = 5; b = -3
The coordinates of the point where the lines are crossed are the solution to the system of linear equations.
How to graph the lines:
y = 6x - 4
y-intercept (0; -4)
for x = 1 ⇒ y = 6 · 1 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 ⇒ (1; 2)
y = 5x - 3
y-intercept (0; -3)
for x=1 ⇒ y = 5 · 1 - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2 ⇒ (1; 2)
