For the solution using the graph, identify where the two graphed lines intersect. In this case, the two lines cross at (-1,-5) This can also be done algebraically. Start by setting both given equations equal to each other, as both are equations of the same variable. This leaves you with: -5=3x -2 Next, begin to isolate your x-variable by adding the 2 on both sides. After this, you end up with: -3=3x Solve for your x-value in your ordered pair solution by dividing by a positive 3 on both sides. This gives you the final answer of a -1 for your x-value. To find your y, take the x value you just found and plug it into e given equation with an x in it. This is y= 3x -2 Once you plug this in, you get: 3(-1) -2 = y Multiply the 3 and the -1 together to simplify your equation. This leaves you with: -3 - 2 = y Finally, subtract to find your value for y. This results in a -5. So your final ordered pair is (-1,-5)
