Question

The graph plots four equations, A, B, C, and D:

Line A joins ordered pair negative 6, 16 and 9, negative 4. Line B joins ordered pair negative 2, 20 and 8, 0. Line C joins ordered pair negative 7, negative 6 and 6, 20. Line D joins ordered pair 7, 20 and 0, negative 7.

Which pair of equations has (4, 8) as its solution?

Equation A and Equation C
Equation B and Equation C
Equation C and Equation D
Equation B and Equation D

(It is not option D or A)

Answer 1

Answer: To find the equation that passes through (4, 8), we need to check which equation contains that point.

Line A has an equation of y = (2/5)x + (194/5). Plugging in x = 4, we get y = (2/5)(4) + (194/5) = 198/5, which is not equal to 8.

Line B has an equation of y = (-5/5)x + 30. Plugging in x = 4, we get y = (-5/5)(4) + 30 = 26, which is not equal to 8.

Line C has an equation of y = (13/13)x - 7. Plugging in x = 4, we get y = (13/13)(4) - 7 = -3, which is not equal to 8.

Line D has an equation of y = (-27/7)x + (491/7). Plugging in x = 4, we get y = (-27/7)(4) + (491/7) = 377/7, which is not equal to 8.

Therefore, none of the given equations has (4, 8) as its solution.
