Question

Which estimated solution is closest to the actual solution shown in the graph?

Question 7 options:

(3,3)


(6,1)


(0,2)


(4,5)


(7,7)


(4,3)


(2,4)

Answer 1

(7) (2, 4)

Explanation:

You want to know which of the offered points is closest to the point of intersection of the two graphed lines.

Solution

The point of intersection can be read from the graph as approximately (2 1/3, 3 3/4). The nearest grid intersection to that point is (2, 4), which is the last point on the list of choices.

(2, 4) is closest to the actual solution

Additional comment

You can see this, too, by graphing the offered choices. There are none closer than (2, 4).
