1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the system of equations
y=x+3y = -x + 3
x+y=52x + y = -\frac{5}{2}
by graphing. We need to find the point of intersection of the two lines.

2. Solution Steps

First, we have the equation y=x+3y = -x + 3. This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, where the slope is 1-1 and the y-intercept is 33. We can also find the x-intercept by setting y=0y=0 which gives 0=x+30 = -x + 3, or x=3x=3. So, we have two points (0, 3) and (3, 0).
Next, let's rewrite the second equation x+y=52x + y = -\frac{5}{2} in slope-intercept form:
y=x52y = -x - \frac{5}{2}
This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, where the slope is 1-1 and the y-intercept is 52=2.5-\frac{5}{2} = -2.5. We can find the x-intercept by setting y=0y=0 which gives x=52=2.5x = -\frac{5}{2} = -2.5. So we have two points (0, -2.5) and (-2.5, 0).
Now we have the two lines. To find the intersection point, we can set the two equations equal to each other:
x+3=x52-x + 3 = -x - \frac{5}{2}
3=523 = -\frac{5}{2}
This is impossible, therefore, the two lines are parallel and there is no solution.
Alternatively, we can solve the system algebraically.
y=x+3y = -x + 3
x+y=52x + y = -\frac{5}{2}
Substitute the first equation into the second:
x+(x+3)=52x + (-x + 3) = -\frac{5}{2}
3=523 = -\frac{5}{2}
This is a contradiction, indicating that the system has no solution. This confirms the lines are parallel.
