Use a graphing calculator to find the solution to the given system.
y = -8x - 5
y = 2x + 9
Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes in your choice.
A. The solution is (Type an ordered pair. Round to three decimal places.)
B. There are infinitely many solutions.
C. There is no solution.

Answer

A. The solution is (-1.4, 6.2).

To find the solution, set the equations equal to each other: -8x - 5 = 2x + 9. Solving for x gives x = -1.4. Substitute x back into one of the equations to find y: y = 2(-1.4) + 9 = 6.2. Therefore, the solution is (-1.4, 6.2).
