Question

Solve the following system of equations by graphing.

y = - 2x - 1
y = 44x - 4.

A) (-4,3)
B) (4,-3)
C) (3,4)
D) (-3,4)

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

Given the corrected equations from the comment:

Y = -1/2x - 1

Y = 1/4x - 4

(I am assuming from the answer choices that the 1/2 is negative)

Use a graphing tool to graph the given equations.

When graphed, the lines pass the point (4, -3).

See graph below.

Option B should be the correct answer.

Hope this helps.
