Answer:
Option D is correct
Solution = (-1, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation:
y = x – 1 ....[1]
y = 3x + 1 ....[2]
Equate equation [1] and [2] to solve for x.
[tex]x-1=3x+1[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides we have;
[tex]-1=2x+1[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides we have;
[tex]-2=2x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2 we have;
x = -1
Substitute the value of x = -1 in [1] we have;
y=-1-1 = -2
Graphically:
Graph the system of equations as shown below.
The intersection point of these lines is the solution for the given system of equation
⇒ (-1, -2)
Therefore, the solution for the given system of equation is, (-1, -2)
