Solve this equation by graphing

Question

x=-8

y=4

 

What is the solution of the system of equations? Select the correct below and, if  necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

 

a). ___ (Type an ordered pair.)

b). The system of equation has infinitely many solutions

c). The system of equations has no solutions.

Answer 1

If you graph these 2 lines you will see that 

 

y = 4 is a horizontal line that goes thru points like (-8,4) and (0,4) 

 

x = -8 is a vertical line that goes thru points like (-8,4) and (-8,0) 

 

The 2 lines intersect at the point (-8,4) which is the solution
