The equations come in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph we know that the y-intercept is (0,2), so that rules out options B and C.
To find the gradient is a little more tricky, but we can follow the formula:
, where rise is the vertical value and run is the horizontal value
So we sub in our values:
And simplify:
So now we sub in our new found values into y=mx+c:
Pick any two pairs of equations<span> from the system. Eliminate the same </span>variable<span> from each pair using the Addition/Subtraction method. Solve the system of the two new </span>equations<span> using the Addition/Subtraction method.</span>
