Two lines, C and D, are represented by the equations given below:
Line C: y = x + 14
Line D: y = 3x + 2
Which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?
Group of answer choices
(6, 20), because both lines pass through this point
(6, 20), because the point does not lie on any axis
(3, 11), because one of the lines passes through this point
(3, 11), because the point lies between the two axes
The correct answer is:
(3, 11), because both equations are satisfied when x = 3 and y = 11. This point lies on both lines C and D, making it the solution to the system of equations.
