Question

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

(7,5, 0.5)

(7, 0.5)

(7,0)

(7,0)

Answer 1

(7, 0.5)

Explanation:

That is where the two lines intersect and i took the test

Answer 2

The best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is the ordered pair (7, 0.5)

Explanation:

The way to solve this problem is to take a deep look into the picture, where we can see that the interception between the lines occurs right in x=7. thus, eliminating the first choice.

Next, we can see that the interception is somewhere far from the 'x' axis, hence 'y' variable can not be zero in this point.

Thus, we have our possible solution, without knowing anything else, the ordered pair (7, 0.5).

Remember, a system of equation has a solution when an interception occurs between its equations
