Answer:

(2, 3)

Explanation:

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by these two lines?

The solution of a system is a point that the lines have. In other words, it is the point where the two lines intersect.

The lines intersect at (2, 3), so the answer is the last option.

There is also a more reliable method of solving. In order for the two lines to be equal, their equations (1.5x = y and y= -0.5x + 4) must be equal.

So,

1.5x = -0.5x + 4

Add 0.5x to both sides.

2x = 4

x = 2.

Now, find how much y must be when x equals two. (You can use either equation to do this)

y = 1.5 * 2

y = 3.

Thus, the coordinates are (2, 3).
