Question

Solve this system by graphing:

y = 2x – 1
y = -x + 5
A) (-3,5)
B) (1,7)
C) (6,-2)
D) (2,3)

Answer 1

To solve the system by graphing, plot the graphs of the equations and find their point of intersection

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system by graphing, we can plot the graphs of the two equations and find their point of intersection, which will give us the solution.

The given equations are:

1. y = 2x – 1
2. y = -x + 5

We can plot these equations on a graph:

• Equation 1: y = 2x – 1
• Equation 2: y = -x + 5

By observing the graph, we can see that the point of intersection is (2, 3).

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) (2, 3).
