Answer:

The point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

The correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:


\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}

Thus, the second option is correct.

Explanation:

Given the point

  • A (-2, 1)

Let us check the system of equations to determine whether it intersect at point A in this graph.

Given the system of equations


\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}

Arrange equation variable for elimination


\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ y+3x=-5\end{bmatrix}

so


y+3x=-5


-


\underline{y-4x=9}


7x=-14

so the system of equations becomes


\begin{bmatrix}y-4x=9\\ 7x=-14\end{bmatrix}

Solve 7x = -14 for x


7x=-14

Divide both sides by 7


(7x)/(7)=(-14)/(7)

Simplify


x = -2

For y - 4x = 9 plug in x = 2


y-4\left(-2\right)=9


y+4\cdot \:2=9


y+8=9

Subtract 8 from both sides


y+8-8=9-8

Simplify

y = 1

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

From the attached graph, it is also clear that the system of equations intersects at point x = -2, and y = 1.

In other words, the point of intersection of the system of equations is:

(x, y) = (-2, 1)

Therefore, the correct system of equations intersect at point A in this graph will be:


\begin{bmatrix}y=4x+9\\ y=-3x-5\end{bmatrix}

Thus, the second option is correct.
