Solutions to system of equations

Question

If the first line in a system of linear equation has a slope of 2 and passes through points (1, -1), and the second line passes through points (8, -5) and (10, -10), what is the solution to the system?

A- (4, 5)

B- (3, 15)

C- (8, 5/2)

D- (2, -5/2)

Answer 1

You are being asked several questions here.

First find the equation of the line with slope = 2 and passing through (1,-1).

Then find the equation of the line which passes through (8,-5) and (10, -10).

Now you have 2 linear equations which you can solve for the intersection point.
