1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations by graphing:
$$y=3x-7$$
$$y=-x+1$$
Determine if the system has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.
2. **Recall the method:** When solving by graphing, each equation represents a line. The solution(s) correspond to the point(s) where the lines intersect.
3. **Graph each line:**
- For $$y=3x-7$$, the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -7.
- For $$y=-x+1$$, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 1.
4. **Find the intersection algebraically to confirm:** Set the right sides equal:
$$3x - 7 = -x + 1$$
5. **Solve for $$x$$:**
$$3x + x = 1 + 7$$
$$4x = 8$$
$$x = \frac{8}{4}$$
$$x = 2$$
6. **Find $$y$$ by substituting $$x=2$$ into one of the equations:**
$$y = 3(2) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1$$
7. **Conclusion:** The lines intersect at the point $$(2, -1)$$, so the system has exactly one solution.
**Final answer:** The system has one solution at $$(2, -1)$$.
