PLEASE HELP!!!A pair of linear equations is shown below: y = −2x + 3 y = −4x −] 1 Which of the following statements best explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically? a. Graph the first equation, which has slope = 3 and y-intercept = −2, graph the second equation, which has slope = −1 and y-intercept = −4, and find the point of intersection of the two lines. b.Graph the first equation, which has slope = −3 and y-intercept = 2, graph the second equation, which has slope = 1 and y-intercept = 4, and find the point of intersection of the two lines. c. Graph the first equation, which has slope = −2 and y-intercept = 3, graph the second equation, which has slope = −4 and y-intercept = −1, and find the point of intersection of the two lines. d.Graph the first equation, which has slope = 2 and y-intercept = −3, graph the second equation, which has slope = 4 and y-intercept = 1, and find the point of intersection of the two lines.
Question
Answer:
Hello,The correct answer is C. The answers are describing the slope and y-intercept of the graph.
These can be determined by looking at the equation: y = mx + b
M is the slope and B is the y-intercept.
1st equation: y = -2x + 3 Slope = -2 and Y-intercept = 3
2nd equation: y = -4x - 1 Slope = -4 and Y-intercept = -1
Choice C is giving those values.
Good luck,
