Question

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below?

Answer 1

`\text{B. }(2, -3)`

Explanation:

`\begin{cases}y=2x-7,\\y=-x-1\end`

Since
`y=y`:

`2x-7=-x-1,\\3x=6,\\x=2`

Solving for
`y`:

`y=2(2)-7=4-7=-3`

Verify that the point of intersection occurs at
`\boxed{(2, -3)}\checkmark`
