Question

just making sure if my answer is right!
Consider the following system of equations:

y = –2x + 3
y = x – 5

Which description best describes the solution to the system of equations?



A. Lines y = –2x + 3 and y = 3x - 5 intersect the x-axis.
B. Line y = –2x + 3 intersects line y = x – 5.
C. Lines y = –2x + 3 and y = 3x – 5 intersect the y-axis.
D. Line y = –2x + 3 intersects the origin.

Answer 1

medal the best helper!!!!!!!

Answer 2

what answer did you choose?

Answer 3

@ladybugg98?

Answer 4

i chose answer D

Answer 5

is that right?

Answer 6

The best thing to do here is to plot it. :D i know graphing sucks, but it's soo helpful in understanding what's happening.

Answer 7

no D is incorrect

Answer 8

hhmmm

Answer 9

well i guess i got this one wrong this time!

Answer 10

did you try graphing both equations?

Answer 11

no i plot them but i think i messed up somewhere!

Answer 12

so how do i find my answer?

Answer 13

this is how they would look

Answer 14

so by looking at the graph, you can conclude that they both intersect the x-axis

Answer 15

ok and then what do i do to find my right answer?

Answer 16

look at what I just said

Answer 17

ok.....

Answer 18

I said
by looking at the graph, you can conclude that they both intersect the x-axis

Answer 19

so if you look at your answer choices, then you would know the answer

Answer 20

A?

Answer 21

yes A

Answer 22
