Solve the system of equations. If the system has no solution, say that it is inconsistent. Graph the lines of the system. x + y = 7
x - y = 5
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in any answer boxes within your choice.
A. The solution is x= 6 and y = 1. (Type integers or simplified fractions.)

** i know that x=6 and Y=1. I don’t know how to graph it. It gives me a hint that the lines need to be in slope intercept form but again, I dont know how to graph! **

So the easiest way would be to change them into slope intercept form

x + y = 7

y = - x + 7

x - y = 5

y = x - 5

The coefficient of x is the slope, since none of them have a coefficient, their slopes are 1. The first line has negative x which means the slope is negative one, which you can draw from top left to bottom right and a positive slope is drawn from top right to bottom left.

The number after x is the y-intercept which is where the line intercepts the y-axis.

To draw, put a dot on the y-intercept and with a slope of one, go up and right one, or the opposite which is go down one and left one and put another dot and draw a line between the two dots. With a slope of negative one, go up one and go left one, or the opposite which is go down one and right one and draw a line between the two dots.

-1, -2, -3, -4, -6
