Question

Y = a system of equations.
y = 1/2x - 6
x = -4
What is the solution to the system of equations?

a. (-8, -4)
b. (-4, -8)
c. (-4, 4)
d. (4, -4)

Answer 1

The given system of equations is:

y = 1/2x - 6

x = -4

To find the solution to the system of equations, we need to substitute the value of x = -4 into the first equation and solve for y.

Substituting x = -4 into the equation y = 1/2x - 6:

y = 1/2(-4) - 6

y = -2 - 6

y = -8

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (-4, -8), which corresponds to the values of x and y respectively.

So, the correct answer is option b. (-4, -8).
