Question

Which of the following graphs shows a pair of lines that represent the equations with a solution (−2, 5)?

A coordinate grid is shown from negative 8 to positive 8 on the x axis and also on the y axis. A pair of lines is shown intersecting on ordered pair 2 units to the right and 5 units down.

Answer 1

If the solution to two equations is (-2, 5) that means that the two lines intersect at that point

Answer 2

So look at your graphs, which one shows two lines that cross each other at (-2, 5)

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

Points are written as (x, y)
so the first number has to be on the x-axis and the next number moves up (or down) along the y-axis

Answer 5

so where would you find (-2, 5)

Answer 6

its B

Answer 7

because they cross at -2,5

Answer 8

mhmm are you sure?

remember the x-coordinate moves left or right
the y-coordinate moves up or down

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

it's written as (x, y)

and we have (-2, 5)

Answer 11

if we have a POSITIVE number for x, it's going to move to the RIGHT because that's where the negative numbers are
if we have a NEGATIVE number for x, it's going to move to the LEFT because that's where the negative numbers are

Answer 12

its D

Answer 13

if we have a POSITIVE number for y, it's going to move to move UP because that's where the negative numbers are
if we have a NEGATIVE number for y, it's going to move to DOWN because that's where the negative numbers are

Answer 14

You got it now!

Answer 15

thank you so much

Answer 16

Of course! It was my pleasure :)
