Answer:
Choose something close to (1.8,2.6)
Choice A
Explanation:
Without the graph provided, I would prefer to do this algebraically.
y=2x-1
y=-1/4x+3
Since both are solved for y, I'm going to replace the first y with what the second y equals.
-1/4x+3=2x-1
I don't really like to deal with fractions quite yet so I'm going to multiply both sides by 4.
-1x+12=8x-4
I'm going to add 1x on both sides.
12=9x-4
I'm going to add 4 on both sides.
16=9x
I'm going to divide both sides by 9
16/9=x
This is the same as saying x=16/9.
Now to find y, just choose one of the equations and replace x with 16/9.
y=2x-1
y=2(16/9)-1
y=32/9-1
y=32/9-9/9
y=(32-9)/9
y=23/9
So the exact solution is (16/9,23/9).
Round these numbers to the nearest tenths you get:
(1.8, 2.6) .
To get this I just typed into my calculator 16 divided by 9 and 23 divided by 9
16 divided by 9 gave me 1.777777777777777777777777777
23 divided by 9 gave me 2.5555555555555555555555555
So choose something close to (1.8, 2.6).
So your ordered pair (1.75,2.5) is pretty close to that so choice A.
