Question

When graphed, the three lines y = -x + 2, y = 2x − 1, and y = x − 2 intersect in such a way that they form a triangle.

What are the coordinates of the three vertices of this triangle?


A.
(2, 0), (0, 2), and (-1, -3)
B.
(0, 2), (2, 0), and (1, -1)
C.
(1, 1), (2, 0), and (-1, -3)
D.
(1, 1), (0, 2), and (-1, -3)
E.
(2, 0), (1, -1), and (-1, -3)

Answer 1

The answer is C

Insert y=X-2 into the equation y=-X+2

You will get the point (2,0)

Insert y=2X-1 into the same equation

you will get the point (1,1).

Without solving for the last point

you will realize that your answer is C
