To solve the system of equations using a table, consider the following two equations:
1. \( y = \frac{3}{2}x + 4 \)
2. \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 4 \)
#### Table of Values
Below is a table with selected values of \( x \), and their corresponding \( y \) values from both equations:
| \( x \) | \( Y_1 \) | \( Y_2 \) |
|--------|------|------|
| -5 | -3.5 | -1.5 |
| -4 | -2 | -2 |
| -3 | -0.5 | -2.5 |
| -2 | 1 | -3 |
#### Explanation
- **Find a common \( y \)-value**: Look for the \( x \) where both \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \) have the same value.
- In the table, when \( x = -4 \), both \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \) equal \(-2\).
Thus, the ordered pair \((-4, -2)\) is a solution that works for both equations in the system.
