Answer:

The answer is (2,0)

Explanation:

We know one equation
y =0.5x - 1 and the other points (3, 1) and (-5, -7).

For the first step, we need to graph the equation we know, since the points already plotted, and therefore have its own line.

As we can tell it crosses over points (2,0) making this equation having exactly one solution.

Making the correct awnser D; (2,0)
