Question

click to select points on the graph.
$y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 1$
$y = -\frac{4}{5}x$
the solution is ( )

Explanation:

Step1: Set equations equal

$$-\frac{3}{5}x - 1 = -\frac{4}{5}x$$

Step2: Multiply by 5 to eliminate denominators

$$-3x - 5 = -4x$$

Step3: Solve for x

$$-3x + 4x = 5$$
$$x = 5$$

Step4: Substitute x into $y=-\frac{4}{5}x$

$$y = -\frac{4}{5}(5) = -4$$

Answer:

The solution is $(5, -4)$
