HELP http://prntscr.com/6sj5p6 What is the solution to the system of equations represented by these two lines? A. (0, 4) B. (4, 2) C. (2, 3) D. (2, 0)
look at the ordered pair at which they intersect
@Nightbot
To do that, you have to solve both equations simultaneously. We can use the substitution method. on this one: - Make y the subject of the formula in one of the two equations - the y found should be replaced in the other equation. - Solve for y in a single equation - Replace the obtained value of y in the equation where you made this the subject, finding x. - That's it! \[y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x\] \[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+4\] \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+4\] \[2x=4\] \[x=2\] Back to the equation, where I considered to have y as the subject... \[y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }(2)=3\] The coordinate is (2,3) C.
