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, – 1).

Check the solution:

Check the solution by substituting the coordinates in each equation.

Substitute (1, – 1) in equation 1.

.                The statement is true.

Substitute (1, – 1) in equation 2.

.                The statement is true.

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