which of the following is a solution for the system y=-3x+5 and y=2x+5? a. (1,7) b.(5,0) c.(2,-1) d.(0,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have y = -3x + 5 and y = 2x + 5 Simply put them in one equation: -3x + 5 = 2x + 5 Now subtract 5 from both sides. -3x = 2x Subtract 2x from both sides -5x = 0 Divide by -5 on both sides. x = 0 So now we know x=0, then what will y be?

5?

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y is indeed 5.

Parth (parthkohli):

Answer is d.

:)

Parth (parthkohli):

No no

Parth (parthkohli):

b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's d.

Parth (parthkohli):

No, it's b as y comes to the left of the equation, so 5 has to come first. Answer is (5,0) i.e., b

Coordinates are always given as (x, y). It doesn't matter how the equations is given.

Parth (parthkohli):

All right. You cleared my confusion. Thank you :)
