x - 2y = 1

(-x - 4y = -7)


-6y = -6
-6 -6
We divide -6 both sides of the equation in order to get our answer.
y = 1 ;

The y-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations is 1. By substituting values and solving simultaneously, we found the point of intersection, which is (3, 1). Thus, the corresponding y-coordinate is 1.
