Question

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below y=1/2x+2 y=-2x+-3

Answer 1

x = -2, y = 1

Explanation:

yes

Answer 2

x = -2, y = 1

Explanation:

given the system of equations y=1/2x+2 and y=-2x+-3, since the 2 equations are functions of y, we will equate both equations together and calculate the value of x as shown

1/2x+2 = -2x-3

x/2+2x = -3-2

5x/2 = -5

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2

Substituting x = -2 into any of the equation to get the value of y we have;

y = -2(-2)-3

y = 4-3

y = 1

The solution to the system of equation (x, y) = (-2, 1)
