Question

Can someone please verify that the answer is C? Thank you.

Two lines, C and D, are represented by the equations given below:

Line C: y = x + 12
Line D: y = 3x + 2

Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?

A: (4, 14), because one of the lines passes through this point

B: (4, 14), because the point lies between the two axes

C: (5, 17), because both lines pass through this point

D: (5, 17), because the point does not lie on any axis

Answer 1

Yeah the answer is C

Reasoning:

when finding the solution to a system of equations by graphing, you look for where the 2 lines cross, and when you graph line C and D they cross at (5, 17)
