Question 9 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y is equal to x squared minus 2 x and y is equal to negative 2 x minus 1 ? Open image in full-screen view

Answer
A
1 comma negative 1
B
0 comma 0 and 0 comma negative 1
C
0 comma 0 and 2 comma 0
D
no solutions

Explanation

At an intersection, both equations have the same y-value, so set them equal: x² − 2x = −2x − 1. Adding 2x to both sides gives x² = −1, which has no real solutions. Therefore, the graphs do not intersect, so the system has no solutions.
