Question

On your own paper, graph the system of equations and identify the solution.−+=−22+=10

Answer 1

The system of equations is given as

$\begin{gathered} -x+y=-2 \\ 2x+y=10 \end{gathered}$

To plot the graph for each equation, we can prepare a table of values taking

$x=2,4,6,8,10$

EQUATION 1: -x +y = -2

EQUATION 2: 2x + y = 10

The graph can then be drawn as shown below:

The solution to the system of equations is the point where the two graphs intersect.

This is seen in the graph above as (4, 2).

Hence, the correct option is the FOURTH OPTION.
