To determine if the point (-1, 1) is a solution to the system of equations, we need to substitute the values of x and y into each equation and see if both equations hold true.
First, substitute x = -1 and y = 1 into the equation x + 2y = 5:
(-1) + 2(1) = 5
-1 + 2 = 5
1 = 5
Since 1 does not equal 5, the point (-1, 1) is not a solution to the equation x + 2y = 5.
Next, substitute x = -1 and y = 1 into the equation x - y = -2:
(-1) - (1) = -2
-1 - 1 = -2
-2 = -2
Since -2 equals -2, the point (-1, 1) is a solution to the equation x - y = -2.
Therefore, the point (-1, 1) is only a solution to one equation in the system.
I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to provide a graph. However, you can easily graph these equations on your own by plotting the points and drawing the lines on a coordinate plane.
