A system of linear equations includes the line that is created by the equation y = 0.5 x minus 1 and the line through the points (3, 1) and (–5, –7), shown below. On a coordinate plane, points are at (negative 5, negative 7) and (3, 1). What is the solution to the system of equations? (–6, –4) (0, –1) (0, –2) (2, 0)

The solution of the system of equations is (x,y) = (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line through the points and is equal to:

Where

So, the equation of the line through the points (3, 1) and (–5, –7) is:

Then, we have two equations, y=x-2 and y=0.5x -1 , so solving for x, we get:

x - 2 = 0.5 x - 1

x - 0.5x = 2 - 1

x = 2

Replacing x=2 in the equation y=x-2, we get:

y =2 - 2 = 0

Finally, the solution of the system of equations is (x,y) = (2,0)

it is x equals 3   plese mark me really need it

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answers i think are b. and d.

give me brainliest if it is correct!
