Question

Solve the system of equations:

y = 2x - 3
y= x2 – 2x-8
A. (-1, -3) and (5, 4)
B. (0, -3) and (3, 3)
C. (4,0) and (-2,0)
D.(-1,-5) and (5,7)

Answer 1

D.(-1,-5) and (5,7)

Explanation:

I used a graphing tool to graph the two equations together. When graphed, the equations intercept (5,7) and (-1,-5). Therefore, they are the solutions to the system.

Option D should be the correct answer.
