Question

In the system shown below, what are the coordinates of the solution that lies in quadrant III?

Write your answer in the form (a,b) without using spaces.

Answer 1

Same thing as last time. Solve for x^2 in the top equation, plug it into the second and solve for y. Quadrant III has a negative x value and a negative y value

Answer 2

is (-2,-5) correct? @BluFoot

Answer 3

Yup perfect!

Answer 4

thanks so much! :)

Answer 5

You can check it by plugging in the point into both equations. Plug in -2 as x and -5 as y, and if both equations work out then you're good.

Answer 6

can you help me with one more?

Answer 7
