Graph the system of equations on graph paper. {6x+4y=24 2x−4y=−8 Which statements are true about the solution to the system of equations? Select each correct answer. The x-coordinate of the solution is 3. The ordered pair that is the solution to the system lies in Quadrant IV . The x-coordinate of the solution is 2. The y-coordinate of the solution is 3. The y-coordinate of the solution is −2 . The ordered pair that is the solution to the system lies in Quadrant I .
Accepted Solution
A:
The first thing you should observe in the graph is that 6x + 4y = 24 is a line with a negative slope. 2x-4y = -8 is a line with positive slope. After you identify the functions you can choose the correct affirmations. The x-coordinate of the solution is 2. The y-coordinate of the solution is 3. The ordered pair that is the solution to the system lies in Quadrant I.
