The graphs of two linear equations are shown.
y= -1/2x - 3
y= 3/4x - 8

which is the solution of this system of equations?

a. (-6, -8)
b. (-5, 4)
c. (-3, -8)
d. (4, -5)

D. (4 , -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
