Question

The graph represents this system of equations.

A system of equations. y equals 4. y equals 3 minus StartFraction on-half EndFraction x.

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line passes through (negative 2, 4) and (0, 3). The second line passes through (negative 2, 4) and (0, 4).

What is the solution to the system of equations?

(–2, 4)
(3, 4)
(4, –2)
(4, 3)

Answer 1

Solve by intersection: set 4 = 3 − (1/2)x. Then 1 = −(1/2)x, so x = −2. y = 4.

Solution: (−2, 4).
