Part 1
x
y
A coordinate system has an unlabeled horizontal x-axis and an unlabeled vertical y-axis. A line that falls from left to right crosses the y-axis above the x-axis. A second line that falls from left to right crosses the x-axis to the right of the y-axis. The second line is steeper than the first line. The point where the two lines intersect is above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis.
