Solve the following system of linear equations by graphing. Graph on your own piece of paper. In your submitted answer, describe what the graph looks like and what this tells you about the solution to the system of linear equations. Please make it simple and to the point.

Question

y=x+3
−4x+4y=28

Answer 1

To graph the system of linear equations:

1. Convert the second equation to slope-intercept form: y = x + 7
2. Plot the two lines on a graph
3. The lines intersect at the point (4, 7)

This tells us that the solution to the system of linear equations is x = 4 and y = 7.
