1. Two lines, C and D, are represented by the following equations:

Question

Line C: y = x + 5
Line D: y = −2x − 1

Which of the following options shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?

(−2, 3), because the point does not lie on any axis
(−2, 3), because both lines pass through this point
(−2, 3), because one of the lines passes through this point
(−2, 3), because the point lies between the two axes****

Help Please Explain This!!

Answer 1

Answer 2

Strange wording of the question.
Your choice of answer is incorrect.

Since the given point satisfies both equations, both lines must pass through the point (-2,3)
