To find the solution to the system of equations x−5y=3 and 3x−2y=−4, we need to find the point where both equations intersect on the coordinate plane.
Looking at the graph, we can see that both equations intersect at the point (-2, -1). This means that x = -2 and y = -1 is the solution to both equations.
se the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x- and y-axes ranging from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A solid line and a dotted line intersect each other. The equation of the solid line is x minus 5 y equals 3. The equation of the dotted line is 3 x minus 2 y equals negative 4. The intersection of both lines is shown at negative 2 on the x-axis and negative 1 on the y-axis in quadrant 3.
Review the graphs of a system of two linear equations in two variables: x−5y=7 and 3x−2y=−4 . Find the solution to both equations.
