Solve the system of equations by graphing. Choose the graph that represents the two given line equations, and then enter the solution.

$\displaystyle{ \left\{\begin{aligned} {x-y} &= -3 \\ x &= -2 \\ \end{aligned} \right. }$

If you would like to enlarge the graph or make numbers and letters easier to read, you may click on it to open it in a new window. You may then enlarge that window with your mouse. To further enlarge the image, use your browser’s zoom capabilities. On a PC this is usually ctrl shift + (and zooming out is ctrl -). On an Apple computer this is usually apple shift + (and zooming out is apple -).

The correct graph is graph

A
B
C
D

The solution of this system, written as an ordered pair, is .

Graph A: This is a graph of two lines intersecting at (-5,-2). One line is horizontal.

Graph B: This is a graph of two lines intersecting at (-2,1). One line is vertical.

Graph C: This is a graph of two lines intersecting at (-1,1). One line is vertical.

Graph D: This is a graph of two lines intersecting at (-2,1). One line is horizontal.
