Question

Estimate the solution to the system of these linear equations based on the graph.
y = 5x + 10

y = -2x +3

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

Based on the graph of these two equations, it appears that the lines intersect at a point where y is approximately 8 and x is approximately -1. Therefore, the estimated solution to the system of equations is x = -1 and y = 8.

Answer 3

I apologize for the error. Let's solve the system of equations to find the exact solution:

y = 5x + 10
y = -2x + 3

Setting the two equations equal to each other:

5x + 10 = -2x + 3
7x = -7
x = -1

Now, substitute x = -1 back into one of the equations to solve for y:

y = 5(-1) + 10
y = -5 + 10
y = 5

Therefore, the exact solution to the system of equations is x = -1 and y = 5.
