So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
Answer:
x = 5
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the second equation by -1 and add the first equation to eliminate "x"
_____________
Replace "y" in the first equation:

3/4 is the highest fraction of the four options.
9x^3-39x^2-38x+40=(3x-2)(3x+4)(x-5) by synthetic division
Thus roots are -4/3, 2/3, 5
