Answer: option A is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given pair of linear equations is
y = −3x + 5
y = x + 2
We would compare both equations with the slope intercept form equation of a straight line which is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept.
Comparing the first equation,
Slope = - 3
y intercept = 5
Comparing the second equation,
Slope = 1
y intercept = 2
Therefore, the statement that best explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically is
A. On a graph, find the point of intersection of two lines; the first line has y-intercept = 5 and slope = −3, and the second line has y-intercept = 2 and slope = 1.
