Two lines, C and D, are represented by the equations given below:

Line C: y = x + 12
Line D: y = 3x + 2

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

Options:
(4, 14), because one of the lines passes through this point
(4, 14), because the point lies between the two axes
(5, 17), because both lines pass through this point
(5, 17), because the point does not lie on any axis

(5,17) because both lines pass through this point

anonymous · Answer

thank you but I just want to know how to find the answer

baru · Answer

just substitute x=5 and y=17 in each of the two equations.

if LHS=RHS it means that (5,17) is a point on the line

if (5,17) is a point on both lines, it means they intersect at (5,17)

oh that makes so much sense thanks!
