Q:

A pair of linear equations is shown below:y = -x + 1y = 2x + 4Which of the following statements best explains the steps to solve the pair of equations graphically? (4 points)A) On a graph, plot the line y = -x + 1 which has y intercept = -1 and slope = 1; and y = 2x + 4 which has y intercept = 2 and slope = 4; and write the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines as the solution.B) On a graph, plot the line y = -x + 1 which has y intercept = 1 and slope = 1; and y = 2x + 4 which has y intercept = 1 and slope = 4; and write the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines as the solution.C) On a graph, plot the line y = -x + 1 which has y intercept = 1 and slope = -1; and y = 2x + 4 which has y intercept = -2 and slope = 2; and write the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines as the solution.D) On a graph, plot the line y = -x + 1 which has y intercept = 1 and slope = -1; and y = 2x + 4 which has y intercept = 4 and slope = 2; and write the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines as the solution.

Accepted Solution

A:
That would be option D

The y intercepts are 1 and 4 and the slope are -1 and 2.
