Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Find two points on each of these lines.


x + y = -2 

If x = 0

then y = -2


If y = 0

then x = -2


x0-2
y-20

Mark these two points on the graph and join them to get the line. 


y = 2x + 10 

If  x = 0

then y = 2*0 + 10 = 0 + 10 = 10


If y = 0

0 = 2x + 10

2x = -10

x = -10/2

x = -5

 

 

x0-5
y100

Mark these two points on the graph and join them to get the line.


Extend the two lines so that they intersect.



So, the two lines intersect at the point (-4, 2).


ANSWER:  (-4, 2)
