Question

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations?

y=32x+6
y=14x−2

A(−6, −3)

B(−6.5, −3.5)

C(−7, −4)

D(−7, −3.5)

Answer 1

B(−6.5, −3.5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

The solution to a system of equations is where the two lines intersect at the exact same (x,y).

On the graph below, the point of intersection is between x values -6 & -7 and between y values -3 & -4. The best estimate would be half way between each of these values.

(-6.5, -3.5)
