Question

What is the solution to the system of equations?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an error in the question. The table does not show two linear functions.  y₁ is a linear function, but   y₂ is not a straight line. It makes a bend at (-6,1).

Line 1 goes through (-12,-3) and (0,5).

slope  = (5-(-3))/(0-(-12)) = 2/3

y-intercept = 5

y₁ = (2/3)x + 5

Line 2 goes through (-12,-2) and (-6,1).

slope = (1-(-2))/(-6-(-12)) = 1/2

y₂ = (1/2)x + 4

(2/3)x + 5 = (1/2)x + 4

x = -6

y = (2/3)x + 5 = 1

Solution: (-6,1)
