Consider the following system of equations: y = −2x + 3
y = x − 5

Which description best describes the solution to the system of equations?

Lines y = −2x + 3 and y = 3x – 5 intersect the x-axis.
Line y = −2x + 3 intersects line y = x − 5.
Lines y = −2x + 3 and y = 3x − 5 intersect the y-axis.
Line y = −2x + 3 intersects the origin.

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

"Line y = −2x + 3 intersects line y = x − 5."

Here’s why:  

When the system of equations are graphed, they would intersect at a point. This means that there is a solution to the system. The solution is .While the statement that the lines intersect the x-axis is true, the question asks the statement that describes the solution. The solution is the point of intersection between the two lines.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
