Write the each equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Graph the equations and find the intersection point.

The graphs appear to intersect at (1, –2).

Check the solution:

Check the solution by substituting the coordinates in each equation.

Substitute (1, –2) in equation 1.

.                   The statement is true

Substitute (1, –2) in equation 2.

.             The statement is true

The solution of the system is (1, –2).
