41 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam and Devin both solve this system of equations: y = -0.5x + 3 y = 1.5x + 0.2 Adam's solution is (1.4, 2.3). Devin's solution is (2.2, 1.7). They graph the equations to check their work. Based on the graph, whose solution is more likely to be correct?

Answer 1

Adam is more likely to be correct. The x-coordinate of the intersection is between 1 and 2 and the y-coordinate of the intersection is between 2 and 3.

Explanation:

The lines intersect between 1 and 2 in the x direction and 2 and 3 in the y direction, so Adam's solution is reasonable.

Answer 2

adams is more likely
