Solve each system by graphing.

To graph the system of equations, start with the first equation, . This line has a y-intercept at (0, 3) and a slope of -3, meaning for every step to the right on the x-axis, the line goes down 3 steps. Plot a few points, such as (1, 0) and (2, -3), and draw the line through them.

Next, graph the second equation, . Here, the y-intercept is (0, -2) and the slope is -1/2, which means for every 2 steps to the right, the line goes down 1 step. Plot points like (2, -3) and (4, -4) and draw this line as well.

Where these two lines intersect is the solution to the system. In this case, you’ll find that they intersect at (2, -3).
