Solve the system of equations below by graphing both equations with a pencil and paper. what is the solution? y = x + 5 y = –2x – 1 a.(0, 5) b.(–2, –1) c.(–2, 3) d.(0, –1)

The answer would be C

Hi! Whenever you are asked to find the solution to a system of equations using graphing, you should look for the point of interception. First, graph the two lines given using slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form: the number by the x is the slope, and the number standing along is the y-intercept.

After you graphed the two lines, look for the point where they meet. For example, in this problem it would be (-2,3).

And you’re done! The answer to this problem is C. I hope I helped you!! :))
