Question

Which description best describes the solution to the following system of equations?

Answer 1

Answer:

  Line y = –x + 4 intersects the line y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is described as the point of intersection of the two lines. The description above is the only one that says anything about that.

Comments on other answer choices

Any line with finite non-zero slope intersects both the x- and y-axes. That fact does not describe the solution to a system of equations.

Any linear equation with an added (non-zero) constant will not intersect the origin. These two equations have +4 and +3 added, so neither line intersects the origin.
