Solve by Graphing y=-1 y=-5/2x+4

$y = - 1$ $y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 4$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ .

$y = - \frac{x \cdot 5}{2} + 4$

$y = - 1$

Move $5$ to the left of $x$ .

$y = - \frac{5 x}{2} + 4$

$y = - 1$

$y = - \frac{5 x}{2} + 4$

$y = - 1$

Step 2

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

$(2, - 1)$
