Chapter 8.8, Problem 12E

To determine

To identify:

The solution for the system of linear equations using given graph.

Answer to Problem 12E

The ordered pair $(-2,-1)$ is a solution for the given system of equations.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A graph:

  

Calculation:

We know that solution for a system of equations is the point, where both lines intersect.

Upon looking at our given graph, we can see that both lines intersect at point $(-2,-1)$ , therefore, the ordered pair $(-2,-1)$ is a solution for the given system.
