The two lines, X and Y, are graphed below: HELP HELP HELP HURRY PLEASE Determine the solution and the reasoning that justifies the solution to the systems of equations.

(2, 7), because this point is true for both the equations (4, −6), because this point lies only on one of the two lines (4, −6), because this point makes both the equations true (2, 7), because the lines intersect the x-axis at these points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the point where the lines intersect. graphically, that is the solution

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Well the solution would be where the 2 lines cross, because that point satisfies both equations So where do they intersect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Well we know a coordinate is in the form (x,y) So from the 'x' axis...we go over to 4 And on the 'y' axis we go down -6 so we have (4,-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would make both the equations true?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Mmhmm, makes sense...if that point is on BOTH lines...then it satisfies both equations

THANK YOU SO MUCH

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

No problem :)
