Here we're looking at a system of linear equations that were graphed in our textbook.
00:05
We're supposed to estimate the solution by where the points intersected by reading the graph.
00:12
If you can look at the graph, it's labeled by twos instead of ones for each line.
00:18
So that's why i came up with negative 2, comma, negative 2 has the intersection point, because each line there represents two units instead of 1.
00:29
So now let's try plugging in this ordered pair to our system of linear equations to make sure it all works out.
00:36
So we have 2x, or x is negative 2, minus y, or y is negative 2 as well, equals negative 2.
00:46
So 2 times negative 2 is negative 4, and subtracting a negative 2 is the same as adding a 2.
00:52
So we get plus 2 equals negative 2, and negative 4 plus 2 equals negative 2, and negative 4 plus 2 equals negative 2, and negative 2 equals negative 2...
