Question

the system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane y=-1/2x-1 and y=1/4x-4 enter the coordinates of the solution to the system of equations in the boxes​

Answer 1

The coordinates are ( 4, -3).

Explanation:

We can find the coordinates by solving the 2 equations

y = 1/4x-4

y = -1/2x-1

As both left sides of the equation are y we can say:

-1/2x-1 = 1/4x-4

-1/2x - 1/4x = -4 + 1

-3/4 x = -3

x = -3 * -4/3

x = 4.

- and y = 1/4(4) - 4 = -3.

Answer 2

• (4, -3)

Explanation:

See the attached graph.

The intersection of the lines gives us the solution:

• (4, -3)
