@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

locate the intersection of the two lines, and pick which answer choice is the closest to describing that point

mikewwe13:

C

mikewwe13:

D

mikewwe13:

@Vocaloid

mikewwe13:

i figured it out, it's D next to the 1

Vocaloid:

look at the point what is the x-coordinate (approximately)?

mikewwe13:

1

Vocaloid:

it's a bit less than 1, so let's just say ~2/3 ish what about the y-coordinate?

mikewwe13:

5

Vocaloid:

notice how the point is on the x-axis that means it has a y-coordinate of 0

Vocaloid:

so the point is approximately (2/3,0) which answer choice is the closest?

mikewwe13:

D

mikewwe13:

but either B or D

mikewwe13:

i'm debating

Vocaloid:

the point is (2/3,0) the y-coordinate must be 0 and the x-coordinate must be less than 1 please pick the closest answer choice think carefully

mikewwe13:

A

Vocaloid:

if you have a point (x,y) the first number is the x-coordinate the second number is the y-coordinate

Vocaloid:

select the answer choice where: the first number is less than 1 the second number is 0

mikewwe13:

those answer choices ?

mikewwe13:

well it's the 2nd

Vocaloid:

good so B.

mikewwe13:

Use a graphing tool to solve the system. {3x − 8y = 29 {3x + y = −2 Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution to the system? A. (0,−3.75) B. (0, −2) C. (0.75, −2.25) D. (0.5, −3.5)
