Consider the equations: y = 5x + 2 and y = 3x + 4. Solve the system of equations by graphing each equation to find an ordered pair that satisfies both equations.

Question

Consider the equations: y = 5x + 2 and y = 3x + 4.

Solve the system of equations by graphing each equation to find an ordered pair that satisfies both equations.

Answer 1

Graphing each equation gives two straight lines that intersect at (1, 7). When plugged into each equation, these values satisfies both equations.
