Daniel and Sofia both solve this system of equations:

y=−1.5x+5.7
y=0.5x+0.3

Daniel's solution is (1.1,2.4). Sofia's solution is (2.7,1.65). They graph the equations to check their work.

Based on the graph, whose solution is more likely to be correct?

You, too, can read the graph and determine that the second selection is appropriate. Or, you can graph it yourself and determine the (one) correct solution.
