Question

The system of equations y = negative 3 x + 2 and y = one-half x minus 6 is shown on the graph below.

On a coordinate plane, 2 lines intersect around (2.3, negative 4.75).

What is a reasonable estimate for the solution?
(2 and one-third, negative 4 and three-fourths)
(negative 4 and three-fourths, 2 and one-third)
(2 and two-thirds, negative 4 and one-half)
(Negative 4 and one-half, 2 and two-thirds)

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

2 and one-third, negative 4 and three-fourths

Explanation:

the solution is the point at which the system of equations are equal to each other, meaning where they intersect
