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

Line A: y = x − 4
Line B: y = 3x + 4

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

(−3, −5), because the point satisfies one of the equations
(−3, −5), because the point lies between the two axes
(−4, −8), because the point satisfies both equations
(−4, −8), because the point does not lie on any axis

anonymous · Answer

solutions to the system are points that satisfy both equations.

take the coordinate set and plug it into the two equations and make sure it actually works. The coordinate set is in (x,y) format so for x values you plug in -5 and for y values you plug in -11. you then make sure the answer works for both equations.
