To identify the solution for the system of equations, we need to find the point that satisfies both equations:

  1. y = 2x - 5
  2. y = x - 3

From the table data provided, we can see the y-values corresponding to the x-values for both equations:

  • For x = 3:

    • From y = 2x - 5: y = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1
    • From y = x - 3: y = 3 - 3 = 0
  • For x = 2:

    • From y = 2x - 5: y = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1
    • From y = x - 3: y = 2 - 3 = -1
  • For x = 1:

    • From y = 2x - 5: y = 2(1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = -3
    • From y = x - 3: y = 1 - 3 = -2
  • For x = 0:

    • From y = 2x - 5: y = 2(0) - 5 = -5
    • From y = x - 3: y = 0 - 3 = -3
  • For x = -1:

    • From y = 2x - 5: y = 2(-1) - 5 = -2 - 5 = -7
    • From y = x - 3: y = -1 - 3 = -4
  • For x = -2:

    • From y = 2x - 5: y = 2(-2) - 5 = -4 - 5 = -9
    • From y = x - 3: y = -2 - 3 = -5

The point that satisfies both equations is (2, -1) since for x = 2, both equations yield y = -1.

Thus, the correct response is:

(2,−1) (2, -1) left parenthesis 2 comma negative 1 right parenthesis.
