Explanation

Choice C is correct. The solution to this system of linear equations is represented by the point that lies on both lines shown, or the point of intersection of the two lines. According to the graph, the point of intersection occurs when x = 2 and y = 3 , or at the point 2,3. Therefore, the solution x,y to the system is 2,3.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
