Question

Two lines, C and D. are represented by the equations given below.

Line C: y = x + 10
Line D: y = 3x + 2
Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?
(5, 17), because one of the lines passes through this point
(5. 17), because the point lies between the two axes
(4, 14), because the point does not lie
on any axis
(4, 14), because both lines pass through this point

Answer 1

The answer is D. (4,14) because both lines pass through this point

Explanation: You can insert (4,14) in either equation and so if you insert it into y= x+10 you get 14=4+10 which shows the x combined with 10 equals the y so it’s correct and if you plotted both lines on the graph both lines would travel through this point because it is a solution for both lines.
