To solve by graphing, you will graph each side of the equation separately and the intersection point is the solution.
To check this solution, you can solve for x in the above equation:
-2x+6=5x-1
Move all of the x's to one side and all of the constants to the other side (+2x to both sides and +1 to each side)
7=7x
Thus by dividing both sides by 7, you get x = 1. Plugging this into either equation you will get y = 4 so the solution on your graph should be at (1,4)
