a pair of equations is shown below:

y = 2x – 1
y = 4x – 5

part a: in your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations. (6 points)

part b: what is the solution to the pair of equations? (4 points)

A. For y= 2x-1, the slope is 2 and the y intercept is -1. Therefore, we should first plot (0,-1). From there, for each increment of x, increase y by 2. For y= 4x-5, the slope is 4 and the y ntercelt is -5. Therefore we should plot (0,-5) and plot an increase of 4 on the y axis per increase of 1 on the x axis. The solution is where the lines cross.
