Question

Using the graph, which of these ordered pairs is the best estimate of the solution of the system y = 3x + 2 and y = -1/4 x + 1?




(0.5, 0.5)

(-0.3, 1.1)

(1.2, 0.8)

(0.8, -0.5)

Answer 1

What part of the question do you need help with?

Answer 2

the question?

Answer 3

which ordered pair is the solution?

Answer 4

The ordered pair for the solution of two lines is the ordered pair that sits at the intersection where the lines cross. In other words, the solution of two equations of lines is the same thing as their intersection. This should make sense if you think about it, because both lines have the SAME value at that point. so just look at your graph and read the ordered pair that matches the intersection of those two lines. The lines are labelled on the graph, so find the right ordered pair to match where the lines meet.

Answer 5

ok so looking at the graph, would u say is about (-0.3, 1.1) ?

Answer 6

where the two lines cross each other?

Answer 7

so about (-0.3, 1.1) on the graph right?

Answer 8

Yes, that's right...

Answer 9

yay! ok thank you so much! :D

Answer 10

Glad to help... hope it makes sense now.
