Question

Consider the following pair of equations: −x − y = −5 y = x + 1 If the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines representing the two equations intersect? (−2, 3) (3, −2) (2, 3) (3, 2)

Answer 1

-x - y = -5
y = x + 1

-x -(x + 1) = -5
-x - x - 1 = -5
-2x = -5 + 1
-2x = -4
x = -4/-2
x = 2

y = x + 1
y = 2 + 1
y = 3

solution is : (2,3)
