Step-by-step explanation:
this is really simple : we only need to put the given x and y coordinate values into both equations and see, if both equations remain true.
(-2, -1) means x = -2, y = -1
first equation :
-1 = 3×-2 + 5 = -6 + 5 = -1
so, -1 = -1
true.
second equation :
-2 + -1 = -3
-3 = -3
true.
therefore, (-2, -1) is a solution to the linear system.
the point is the crossing point of both lines.
