Question

The graph on the left represents a system of equations.

How can the solution be located?

Answer 1

The solution is the point where the lines meet.

The x coordinate is between 0 and 1

The y coordinate is between 2 and 3

The solution is approximately (x,y) = (-0.4, 2.9)

Answer 2

On a coordinate plane, 2 lines intersect around (0.4, 2.8).
