$x + y = 1$ $y = - \frac{1}{6} x - 4$

Step 1

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 1 - x$

$y = - \frac{1}{6} x - 4$

Step 2

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ .

$y = - \frac{x}{6} - 4$

$y = 1 - x$

Step 3

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.

$(6, - 5)$
