Choose the graph that best represents the solution to the system of equations.
y=-x
y=x-1





First, rearrange the equations:
[tex]x + y = 0[/tex]
[tex] - x + y = - 1[/tex]
Then, do equation 1 minus equation 2 to cancel y:
[tex]x - - x = 2x[/tex]
[tex]0 - - 1 = 1[/tex]
[tex]2x = 1[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Substitute x to find y:
[tex]y = - x = - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
So the point of intersection is (1/2, -1/2), which is represented by graph 1.
Answer:
Given system of equations,
y = - x ------(1)
y = x - 1 ------(2),
From equation (1) and (2),
-x = x - 1
-x - x = -1
-2x = -1
[tex]\implies x = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Again from equation (1),
[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Thus, the intersection point of the lines (1) and (2), is [tex](\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{2})[/tex]
Hence, the below graph represents the solution to the system of equations.
