Question

The graph represents this system of equations.

A system of equations. y equals 2 x minus 4. y equals 1 minus 3 x.

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line passes through (0, 1) and (1, negative 2). The second line passes through (0, 1) and (1, negative 2).

What is the solution to the system of equations?

(–4, 1)
(–2, 1)
(1, –4)
(1, –2)

Answer 1

Set 2x - 4 = 1 - 3x. Then 5x = 5, so x = 1. Substitute: y = 2(1) - 4 = -2.

Solution: (1, −2).
