My answer was 1, but I'm not sure if thats right...

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The lines look good. Your graph is correct. Now read off the coordinates of the point where the lines intersect to find the solution of the system of equations.

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Why did you choose 1? c:

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Your answer has to be an ordered pair. At the intersection, x = 1. What is y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the intersection point was (1,-3)

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Yep, so you are correct c:
