Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? y = –5x + 3 y = 1

a(0.4, 1) b(0.8, 1) c(1, 0.4) d(1, 0.8)

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

We know that the y-coordinate has to be 1 so we can eliminate options C and D. If we plug y = 1 into y = -5x + 3 to solve for x we get:

1 = -5x + 3

-2 = -5x

x = 0.4 so the answer is A.
