Two lines, A and B, are represented by the equations given below:

Line A: y = x − 6
Line B: y = 3x + 4

Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?

(−5, −11), because the point satisfies both equations
(−5, −11), because the point does not lie on any axis
(−3, −5), because the point satisfies one of the equations
(−3, −5), because the point lies between the two axes

anonymous · Answer

the best way to do this is by putting the set of numbers in for the x and the y

anonymous · Answer

Okay

anonymous · Answer

HINT: if neither of them will equal each other then they don't satisfy

triciaal · Answer

y = y just expressed differently
the best way to do this is to set the equations equal and solve for the unknown. use this value to substitute and get the other. compare with the choices given.
