Question

Choose the graph that matches the following system of equations:

Answer 1

In intercept form, the equations are
.. x/(-5/8) +y/(-1) = 1
.. x/(3/7) +y/(-1) = 1

The first line has intercepts (-5/8, 0) and (0, -1).
The second line has intercepts (3/7, 0) and (0, -1)

In the second graph, the (blue) line with positive slope has an x-intercept greater than 1/2. Neither line matches that. The intercepts match those of the first graph.
