The graph of a system of linear equations is shown. What is the solution to the system?
Explanation
Choice C is correct. The solution to a system of linear equations is represented by the point that lies on the graph of each equation in the system, or the point where the lines intersect on a graph. On the graph shown, the two lines intersect at the point . Therefore, the solution to the system is .
Choice A is incorrect. This is the y-intercept of the graph of one of the lines shown, not the intersection point of the two lines.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
