Question

y = -3
y = x - 0.8
what is the best approximation for the solution to this system of equations?
○ (-3.2, -3)
○ (-2.9, -3)
○ (-2.2, -3)
○ (-1.9, -3)

Explanation:

Step1: Set equations equal

Since $y=-3$, substitute into $y=x-0.8$:
$-3 = x - 0.8$

Step2: Solve for x

Rearrange to isolate $x$:
$x = -3 + 0.8$
$x = -2.2$

Step3: Identify solution pair

The solution is the $(x,y)$ pair where both equations intersect.

Answer:

C. (-2.2, -3)
