Knowledge
Numbers
Terms
Q2.
What are the coordinates of the points of intersection for y = x + 5 and y = -2x - 1?
(-2, -3)
(2, -3)
(2, 3)
Q3.
Use a graph to solve y = x + 5 and y = -2x - 1 simultaneously.
x = -2, y = -3
x = 2, y = -3
x = 2, y = 3
Q4.
Create equations for the following statements: "I'm thinking of 2 numbers that have a sum of 3", "I'm thinking of 2 numbers. I triple the first number and add the second to get -1".
x + y = 3, 2x + y = -1
y = -x + 3, y = 3x - 1
y = x + 3, y = 3x - 1
Q5.
Find the values of x and y that are true for both of the following statements: "I'm thinking of 2 numbers that have a sum of 3", "I'm thinking of 2 numbers. I triple the first number and add the second to get -1".
x = -2, y = -5
x = 2, y = -5
x = 2, y = 5
