Q:

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = −A system of equations. y equals 0.5 x plus 3.5. y equals negative StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus StartFraction 1 over 3 EndFraction.x + shown on the graph? (–2.7, 2.1) (–2.1, 2.7) (2.1, 2.7) (2.7, 2.1)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)Step-by-step explanation:we have[tex]y=0.5x+3.5[/tex] -----> equation A[tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}[/tex] -----> equation BSolve the system by graphingRemember that the solution is the intersection point both graphsusing a graphing toolThe solution is the point (-2.714,2.143)see the attached figurethereforeThe approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)
