Question

The graph represents this system of equations:

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the given figure showing the graph.

We can see the point of intersection is (2.5, -2).

Option D is the correct answer.

Alternatively:

2x + y = 3  ---------------------eqn 1

2x - 5y = 15  ---------------------eqn 2

eqn1 - eqn 2 gives

  2x + y - ( 2x - 5y) = 3 - 15

           6y = -12

             y = -2

Substituting in eqn 1

         2x - 2 = 3

            x = 2.5

Point of intersection is (2.5, -2).

Option D is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

(2.5, - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a system of equations given graphically is at the point of intersection of the 2 lines, that is

(2.5, - 2 ) ← point of intersection
