The point (5, -3) is a solution to which system of equations?(1 point)

Responses

Y = 2/3 x + 6
3y + 6x - 18 = 0

y = x - 8
2x + y = 7

y = x + 2
y = x + 5

y = - 1/2x + 6
y = 3x - 1

1 answer

To determine which system of equations has (5, -3) as a solution, let's evaluate each equation for the point (5, -3), where \( x = 5 \) and \( y = -3 \).

System 1

  1. Equation: \( y = \frac{2}{3}x + 6 \)
    \(-3 = \frac{2}{3}(5) + 6\)
    \(-3 = \frac{10}{3} + 6\)
    \(-3 \neq \frac{10}{3} + \frac{18}{3}\) (not satisfied)

  2. Equation: \( 3y + 6x - 18 = 0 \)
    \( 3(-3) + 6(5) - 18 = 0 \)
    \(-9 + 30 - 18 = 0\)
    \(3 = 0\) (not satisfied)

System 2

  1. Equation: \( y = x - 8 \)
    \(-3 = 5 - 8\)
    \(-3 = -3\) (satisfied)

  2. Equation: \( 2x + y = 7 \)
    \( 2(5) + (-3) = 7\)
    \( 10 - 3 = 7\)
    \( 7 = 7\) (satisfied)

System 3

  1. Equation: \( y = x + 2 \)
    \(-3 = 5 + 2\)
    \(-3 \neq 7\) (not satisfied)

  2. Equation: \( y = x + 5 \)
    \(-3 = 5 + 5\)
    \(-3 \neq 10\) (not satisfied)

System 4

  1. Equation: \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 6 \)
    \(-3 = -\frac{1}{2}(5) + 6\)
    \(-3 = -\frac{5}{2} + 6\)
    \(-3 \neq -\frac{5}{2} + \frac{12}{2}\) (not satisfied)

  2. Equation: \( y = 3x - 1 \)
    \(-3 = 3(5) - 1\)
    \(-3 \neq 15 - 1\) (not satisfied)

Conclusion

The system of equations that has the point (5, -3) as a solution is:

System 2:

  • \( y = x - 8 \)
  • \( 2x + y = 7 \)
