The graph shows a coordinate plane that goes from negative 8 to 8 in each direction. The graph also shows two lines. The lines intersect at ( negative 1 , negative 1 ). The slope of each line is positive.
These two lines represent a system of equations.

What is the solution to that system?

1 answer

The solution to a system of equations represented by two lines on a coordinate plane is the point at which the two lines intersect. In your description, both lines intersect at the point \((-1, -1)\). Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ (-1, -1) \]
