Answer:
(-2, 6.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Wayne can follow the line from (-2, 0) up to where it crosses the graphed line. The crossing point is approximately halfway between 6 and 7 on the graph, so can be considered to be 6.5.
If we put x=-2 into the equation and evaluate, we get ...
... y = (-3/4)(-2) +5 = 6/4 +5 = (1 1/2) +5 = 6 1/2
Thus the solution is (-2, 6 1/2).
I hope this picture helps, but next time try to chose a number to cancel out the fraction. Example, y=1/3x+4 chose 3,6,9 and other multiples of 3.
