$x + y = 2$ $y = - \frac{1}{5} x - 2$

Step 1

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 2 - x$

$y = - \frac{1}{5} x - 2$

Step 2

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ .

$y = - \frac{x}{5} - 2$

$y = 2 - x$

Step 3

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

$(5, - 3)$
