On a graph, find the point of intersection of two lines; the first line has y-intercept = 5 and slope = −3, and the second line has y-intercept = 2 and slope = 1.

This statement correctly explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically by identifying the y-intercepts and slopes of both lines to find the point where they intersect.
