Which graph represents the solution. to the given system? y=-5x-2 y+2=-5x
The given system of equations is y = -5x - 2 and y + 2 = -5x.
To find the solution to the system, we can solve for y in the second equation:
y + 2 = -5x
Subtracting 2 from both sides:
y = -5x - 2
This equation is the same as the first equation given.
Therefore, the system of equations is equivalent, and the solution is all the points that lie on the line y = -5x - 2.
The graph of this equation is a straight line with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -2.
Here is a graph representing the solution:
