Understand the Problem

The question is asking which given systems of equations have the specific solution of (1, -1). It requires the user to evaluate each equation to determine if it holds true for that specific solution.

Answer

The systems that have the solution of (1, -1) are \( y = -2x + 1 \), \( y = 5x - 6 \), \( y = -x \), \( x + 6y = -5 \), \( 4x - 4y = 8 \), \( 4x + 2y = 2 \), and \( 3x - 5y = 8 \).
Answer for screen readers

The valid systems of equations are:

  • ( y = -2x + 1 )
  • ( y = 5x - 6 )
  • ( y = -x )
  • ( x + 6y = -5 )
  • ( 4x - 4y = 8 )
  • ( 4x + 2y = 2 )
  • ( 3x - 5y = 8 )

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the System of Equations We need to check each system of equations to see if the point (1, -1) satisfies them.

  2. Evaluate Each Equation Substitute ( x = 1 ) and ( y = -1 ) into each equation.

  3. Equation Evaluation

    • For the equation ( y = -2x + 1 ): $$ -1 = -2(1) + 1 $$ This simplifies to ( -1 = -2 + 1 ), which is true since ( -1 = -1 ).

    • For the equation ( y = 5x - 6 ): $$ -1 = 5(1) - 6 $$ This simplifies to ( -1 = 5 - 6 ), which is also true since ( -1 = -1 ).

    • For the equation ( x - y = 0 ): $$ 1 - (-1) = 0 $$ This simplifies to ( 1 + 1 = 0 ), which is false since ( 2 \neq 0 ).

    • For the equation ( y = -x ): $$ -1 = -1 $$ This is true since both sides are equal.

    • For the equation ( x + 6y = -5 ): $$ 1 + 6(-1) = -5 $$ This simplifies to ( 1 - 6 = -5 ), which is true since ( -5 = -5 ).

    • For the equation ( 4x - 4y = 8 ): $$ 4(1) - 4(-1) = 8 $$ This simplifies to ( 4 + 4 = 8 ), which is true since ( 8 = 8 ).

    • For the equation ( 2x + 2y = -1 ): $$ 2(1) + 2(-1) = -1 $$ This simplifies to ( 2 - 2 = -1 ), which is false since ( 0 \neq -1 ).

    • For the equation ( y = -3x - 2 ): $$ -1 = -3(1) - 2 $$ This simplifies to ( -1 = -3 - 2 ), which is false since ( -1 \neq -5 ).

    • For the equation ( 4x + 2y = 2 ): $$ 4(1) + 2(-1) = 2 $$ This simplifies to ( 4 - 2 = 2 ), which is true since ( 2 = 2 ).

    • For the equation ( 3x - 5y = 8 ): $$ 3(1) - 5(-1) = 8 $$ This simplifies to ( 3 + 5 = 8 ), which is true since ( 8 = 8 ).

  4. Compile the Results The equations that hold true for the solution (1, -1) are:

    • ( y = -2x + 1 )
    • ( y = 5x - 6 )
    • ( y = -x )
    • ( x + 6y = -5 )
    • ( 4x - 4y = 8 )
    • ( 4x + 2y = 2 )
    • ( 3x - 5y = 8 )

The valid systems of equations are:

  • ( y = -2x + 1 )
  • ( y = 5x - 6 )
  • ( y = -x )
  • ( x + 6y = -5 )
  • ( 4x - 4y = 8 )
  • ( 4x + 2y = 2 )
  • ( 3x - 5y = 8 )

More Information

The solution (1, -1) indicates that this point lies on the lines represented by the equations. When substituting the values of ( x ) and ( y ) into the equations confirms which equations contain this point.

Tips

  • Not substituting both ( x ) and ( y ) into each equation correctly.
  • Simplifying incorrectly or making arithmetic errors during substitution.
