Solve by Graphing 2x+y=-6 , y=1/3x+1

$2 x + y = - 6$ , $y = \frac{1}{3} x + 1$

Step 1

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = - 6 - 2 x$

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + 1$

Step 2

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{3} + 1$

$y = - 6 - 2 x$

Step 3

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.

$(- 3, 0)$
