If the system of linear equations 2x + y = 1 and y = − 12 x + 1 are graphed on the same coordinate grid, which of the following is the solution to this system of linear equations?
Well, first of all I don't see "the following" solutions, but no worries!
You can graph the two equations in a graphing calculator by writing them in the y = mx + b form, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.
For the first equation 2x + y = 1 you would move the 2x to the right and rewrite it as:
y = -2x + 1
The second equation stays the way it is:
y = -12x + 1
Now graph both of them on the same axes, and look at the point where they intersect.
They intersect at (0, 1)
