Answer 1

(d) (-1/4, 3/4)

Explanation:

You want the solution to the graphed system of equations.

Solution

The solution is the point that satisfies both equations, the point where the lines intersect. That point is in the 2nd quadrant, where x-values are negative.

The only suitable answer choice is ...

(x, y) = (-1/4, 3/4)
