A system of linear equations includes the line that is created by the equation y = 0.5 x minus 1 and the line through the points (3, 1) and (–5, –7), shown below. On a coordinate plane, points are at (negative 5, negative 7) and (3, 1). What is the solution to the system of equations? (–6, –4) (0, –1) (0, –2) (2, 0)

Answer:

(2,0)

Explanation:

From the information the first equation is y = 0.5 x - 1 and the the line through (3,1) and (-5,-7) is

y = x - 2 . From those two equations you get

x - 2 = 0.5 x -1 and x = 2 , y = 0. So it is the last point. (2,0)
