Question

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = −A system of equations. y equals 0.5 x plus 3.5. y equals negative StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus StartFraction 1 over 3 EndFraction.x + shown on the graph? (–2.7, 2.1) (–2.1, 2.7) (2.1, 2.7) (2.7, 2.1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Its A.

(–2.7, 2.1)

Answer 2

Answer:

The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=0.5x+3.5$ -----> equation A

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (-2.714,2.143)

see the attached figure

therefore

The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)
