Get It Out of Your System

Label equal sections of a spinner "I," "II," "III," "IV." These numbers stand for quadrants I through IV.

One partner spins the spinner. Try to be the first to use graphing to find a system of two of the equations shown below whose solution is in the quadrant indicated on the spinner. Taking turns at the spinner, repeat the procedure two more times. (You may not use any equation more than once.) Try to win two out of three rounds.

y = -x + 4
y = x - 1
y = -7x + 8
y = 2x + 8
y = 3 - x
y = 2x - 1
y = -x + 15
y = 5x - 12
