Question

Two lines, A and B, are represented by the equations given below: Line A: y = x − 2 Line B: y = 3x + 4 Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why? (−3, −5), because the point does not lie on any axis (−3, −5), because the point satisfies both equations (−4, −8), because the point satisfies one of the equations (−4, −8), because the point lies between the two axes You must check the box below prior to submitting your exam!

Answer 1

because the point satisfies both of the equations. The point (-3, -5) is the point where the two lines intersect.

Explanation:

`x - 2 = 3x + 4 \\ 2x = - 6 \\ x = - 3`

`x - 2 = \\ 3x + 4 = \\ \\ - 3 - 2 = - 5 \\ 3( - 3) + 4 \\ = - 9 + 4 \\ y= - 5`
