Antoinette needs to solve this system of equations by graphing. Which statements explain how she should graph the equations? Check all that apply.

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion, Antoinette should make use of a graphing calculator to find the solution. (second attachment)

Slope-intercept form can be useful for graphing, so it often works well to start with equations in that form. If that is Antoinette's strategy, she should rewrite the first equation to that form. The second equation is already in slope-intercept form.

In doing that rewrite, she will want to get the y-term on one side of the equal sign by itself. She can do that by subtracting 2x from the first equation:

  -7y = -2x +56

As a final step in her rewrite, she would divide by -7 to get ...

  y = 2/7x +56

This 2nd equation has a positive slope of 2/7. The slope of the second equation is similarly the x-coefficient, -2.5. Neither is 4 and they have different signs.

The appropriate answer choices are shown checked below.
