Answer:
(a) (x, y) = (2, 5)
(bi) y = 5, y = 5; the values are the same
(bii) the values are the same as in part (a)
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the solution and some observations about it for the system of equations ...
The graph shows the lines cross at the point (x, y) = (2, 5).
The solution to the equations is (x, y) = (2, 5).
i) For x=2, the value of y in the first equation is ...
y = 2(2) +1 = 4 +1 = 5
For x=2, the value of y in the second equation is ...
y = -(2) +7 = -2 +7 = 5
ii) The values of y are the same, and match the value we found in part (a).

Additional comment
The purpose of the exercise is to get you to see that the value of x that is the solution makes both equations have the same value of y, and that is the value of y that is the solution.
The graph is a plot of the y-value for each x-value. Where the lines cross, the y-values are the same for that x-value. That point of intersection of the lines is the solution to the system of equations: the values of x and y satisfy both equations at that point.
