Question

Select the system of equations that corresponds to the given graph.

A graph of two lines. The first line passes through the points negative 4 comma negative 3 and 0 comma 4. The second pass through the points -5 comma negative 1 and 2 comma negative 4.

-2x - y = 4
2x + y = -2


-8x + 4y = -16
-4x + 2y = -8


-x - 2y = 6
-7x + 4y = 16


2x + 3y = 6
3x + 2y = 4

Answer 1

You should be able to substitute -4 for x and -3 for y and get one of the listed equations, the same goes for the x and y values in the 2nd line. However, I am having conflicts with this. Please verify that you have copied all correctly.

Answer 2

If my calculations are correct the slope of the first line is 7/4 and the second line is
-(3/7) These values of slope are inconsistent with the given equations. There should be a pair of the answer giving the same slope values.

Answer 3

The third answer, 2nd equation is consistent with the slope of the first line. The first equations does not match the 2nd line.
