So what you do,is you add them together to get 13/10 but then you can also simplify it but you can keep the answer to 13/10

Explanation:
This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.
<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.
We are given a line with the following data:
r-value = 0.657 (r)
standard deviation of x-coordinates = 2.445 (Sx)
standard deviation of y-coordinates = 9.902 (Sy)
We are asked to find the slope of the line up to 3 decimal places.
To find the slope of the line, based on the data that we have, we can use this formula:
slope, b = r * (Sy / Sx)
substitute the values to the formula:
b = 0.657 * ( 9.902 / 2.445 )
Solve for the b.
Therefore, the slope of the line is
b = 2.66078, round off to three decimal places:
b = 2.661 is the slope of the line.
