Rewrite Equations: First, let's rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.For the first equation, 3x−y=−1, we add y to both sides and then add 1 to both sides to get y=3x+1.
Graph First Equation: Now, let's graph the first equation y=3x+1. We start by plotting the y-intercept (0,1) and then use the slope 3 to plot another point.
Graph Second Equation: For the second equation, y=−x+5, it's already in slope-intercept form. We plot the y-intercept (0,5) and use the slope −1 to plot another point.
Find Intersection Point: After plotting both lines on the graph, we look for the point where they intersect. This point is the solution to the system of equations.
Solution: The lines intersect at the point (2,3). So, the solution to the system of equations is x=2 and y=3.
