@madison_taylor914 Yes please

Answer 7

okay. well this is just a fill in the blank question.
so at the top of the question you have 2 equations. they both have an x and y variable in them. then you have some plots. (x,y) so you just pick one of the answer choices and fill in the x and y in the equations. D is the answer because it is the only one that works in both equations.
-5x+y=-5
-5(2) + 5 = -5
is a true statement.
-4x+2y=2
-4(2) + 2(5)= 2
is also a true statement.
