Question

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct answer from the list of options.

x + y = 1
y = x −5

Label the ordered pair as (x, y). (4 points)

a
(0, 0)

b
(3, −2)

c
(−2, 3)

d
(−3, 0)

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

substitute y in x

x+x-5=1

2x=6

x=3

y=3-5

y= -2

Answer 2

answer:
b
(3, -2)

Explanation:
needs to be y = mx + b
x + y = 1
-x -x
y = -x + 1
y = x - 5 is already in form
using desmos
they intersect at (3, -2)
