Question

The system of equations y = –2x + 1 and y = x + 5 is shown on the graph below. Which statement is true about the solution to the system of equations?

A. The x-value is between –1 and –2, and the y-value is between 3 and 4.
B. The x-value is between 3 and 4 , and the y-value is between –1 and –2.
C. The x-value is between 1 and 2, and the y-value is between –3 and –4.
D.The x-value is between –3 and –4, and the y-value is between 1 and 2.

Answer 1

the answer is a

Explanation:

y = -2x +1

y = x + 5

-2x+1=x+5

-3x = 4

x= -4/3

y = -1 1/3 + 5= 3 2/3
