Solve by Graphing y=-1/2x+5 y=1/2x+6

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 5$ $y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6$

Step 1

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$y = - \frac{x}{2} + 5$

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

Step 2

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{2} + 6$

$y = - \frac{x}{2} + 5$

Step 3

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

$(- 1, \frac{11}{2})$
