(-1,-13).....x = -1 and y = -13

y = 3x - 10y = -2x - 15
-13 = 3(-1) - 10(-13) = -2(-1) - 15...answer is B.

ANSWER


- 13= 3( - 1) - 10

- 13 = - 2( - 1) - 15



Step-by-step explanation

The given system is


y = 3x - 10
and


y = - 2x - 15

The solution to the system is


(-1,-13)


This implies that,


x = - 1 \: and \: y = - 13


To justify this solution means we substitute,


x = - 1 \: and \: y = - 13
into the given system.


When substitute into the first equation we get



- 13= 3( - 1) - 10
When we substitute into the second equation, we obtain,


- 13 = - 2( - 1) - 15


The correct answer is B.
