Answer:
(1, - 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x - 7 → (1)
y = - 4x - 2 → (2)
Substitute y = x - 7 into (2)
x - 7 = - 4x - 2 ( add 4x to both sides )
5x - 7 = - 2 ( add 7 to both sides )
5x = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y
Substituting x = 1 into (1)
y = 1 - 7 = - 6
Solution is (1, - 6 )
