Asystem of linear equations is graphed. which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution to the system?

a) (1/3,1)
b) (1/2,0)
c) (1,1)
d) (1/3,0)

The answer that gives the best estimate is (1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

i) As can be seen on of the lines intercepts the y axis at (0,-1). So the y

 intercept or = -1. Therefore the equation for this line can be written as

 y = x +    ⇒    y = x - 1 . It can also be seen from this graph that the

 line passes through the point (2 , 2). Substituting these values for x and y  

 respectively we get  2 = 2 - 1    ∴ = .  The equation of the first line

 can be written as y = x - 1   ⇒ 2y - 3x = -2

ii) As can be seen on the other line the intercept on the y axis is at (0,2). So

  the y  intercept or = 2. Therefore the equation for this line can be  

  written  as  y = x +    ⇒    y = x + 2 . It can also be seen from this  

   graph that  the  line passes through the point (1 , -1). Substituting these

   values for x and  y   respectively we get  1 = 1 + 2    ∴  = -1 .  The

   equation of the second line  can be written as y = - x + 2   or x + y = 2

iii) Solving the two equations of the two lines respectively as found in i) and

  ii)  we get y = 0.8. We multiply equation in ii) by 3 to get 3x + 3y = 6 and  

  when we add this to equation in i) we get 5y = 4 which means that y = 0.8.

  If we substitute this value in ii) we get 0.8 + x = 2 , therefore x = 1.2.

iv) Therefore we get the solution of the two lines, which is the intersection

    of the two lines as (1.2, 0.8). So the answer that gives the best estimate

    is (1,1)

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
