* WILL GIVE BRIANLIEST*(8.01 MC)

Two lines, A and B, are represented by equations given below:

Line A: y = x − 2
Line B: y = 3x + 4

Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?
(−3, −5), because the point does not lie on any axis
(−3, −5), because the point satisfies both equations
(−4, −8), because the point satisfies one of the equations
(−4, −8), because the point lies between the two axes

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is b

Explanation:

Answer 2

If you let A=B (because they both have ys) we get x-2=3x+4. Solving for x we get x=-3. Plugging in x into A we get -3-2=-5. We can also plug into b to recheck: 3(-3)+4=-5. So the solution is (-3,-5) because the point satisfies both equations.

Hope that helps..:-)
