Question

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{B. }(2, -3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{cases}y=2x-7,\\y=-x-1\end$

Since $y=y$:

$2x-7=-x-1,\\3x=6,\\x=2$

Solving for $y$:

$y=2(2)-7=4-7=-3$

Verify that the point of intersection occurs at $\boxed{(2, -3)}\checkmark$
