Solve the system by graphing. y = -3x + 1 y = x - 7.

Solution:

It is given that equations are

y = -3x + 1

y = x -7

We have to solve it by graphing the solutions

Let us plot the graph by taking different values of x and y,

For equation y = -3x + 7, if x = 0 then y = 7 and if x = 1 then y = 4.

For equation y = x - 7, if x = 0 then y = -7 and if x = 1 then y = -6.

On plotting the obtained points, we will get the graph shown below:

Therefore, by solving the system we get (2, -5).

Solve the system by graphing. y = -3x + 1 y = x - 7.

Summary:

By solving the system by graphing y = -3x + 1 y = x - 7 we get (2, -5).
