Answer:

D

Explanation:

The answer is D

To find this answer you find the need to find the equation of the lines. The equation of the first line is
-(5)/(2) + 40 . I found this because I looked at the rise/run or how much the graph is moving up or down. In this graph, it is moving down by 1. But the graph is incremented by 5 so the rise is 5. Next, the graph is moving left by 2 so the slope is -5/2. The y-intercept is 40 because it is the place where the line hits the y-axis.

The next equation for the line is repeating the same steps and you get
-(5)/(3)+15.

The next part would be the solution of the lines. The solution is where the two lines intersect. The lines intersect at (6, 25). Only answer D has all these parts correct.
