Question

Two lines, A and B, are represented by the following equations:

Line A: y = x − 1
Line B: y = −3x + 11

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

(3, 2), because the point does not lie on any axis
(3, 2), because one of the lines passes through this point
(3, 2), because the point lies between the two axes
(3, 2), because both lines pass through this point

Answer 1

i think its C

Answer 2

Nope

Answer 3

yes! I think so!

Answer 4

What is a solution? it's where two lines intersect

Answer 5

@Michele_Laino no it's not right I'll message you the right answer but I want @nuccioreggie to figure it out

Answer 6

To remind you : an axis, or axes as plural, is the big lines on a graph.

Answer 7

oops.. sorry you are right!! :) :) @whovianchick

Answer 8

^those are the axies

Answer 9

axes*

Answer 10

a

Answer 11

A is wrong because the axis has nothing to do with it.
B is wrong because BOTH lines have to pass through a point for it to be a solution.
C is wrong because, again, the axes have nothing to do with it.
D is right because that is what a solution is, it's the point where two lines cross.

Answer 12

@eugene975 you are wrong

Answer 13

I'm very sorry @nuccioreggie , I have made a big error
