Which graph shows a system of equations with a solution at negative 1 comma 1 ?

A
Image with description A coordinate plane with x-axis and y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. Two functions are plotted on the grid, a quadratic function and a linear function. The parabola opens upwards with its vertex at 0 comma negative 2. It passes through the x-axis at negative 1 comma 0 and 1 comma 0, and extends upwards into the first and second quadrants with arrowheads pointing near negative 2 comma 5 and 2 comma 5. The line has a positive slope, passing through the y-axis at 0 comma negative 1 and the x-axis at 1 comma 0.

Which graph most likely shows a system of equations with no solutions?

A
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola and a straight line. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex near 0 comma 0 at the origin, with the left arm rising into the upper-left portion of the plane and the right arm rising into the upper-right area. The straight line has a negative slope and extends from the upper-left area of the plane, passing through approximately negative 1 comma 4, downward to the right, ending near the point 2 comma negative 5.
B
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola and a straight line. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex near 0 comma 2, with both arms rising steeply into the upper portion of the plane. The straight line has a positive slope and extends from the lower-left area of the plane, passing through approximately negative 3 comma negative 4, upward to the right, passing through approximately 3 comma 4.
C
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola and a straight line. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex near 0 comma 1 on the y-axis, with both arms rising into the upper portion of the plane. The straight line has a slight positive slope and extends from the lower-left area of the plane, passing through approximately negative 5 comma negative 4, to the right edge of the plane near 5 comma 0.

Which graph most likely shows a system of equations with one solution?

A
Image with description A coordinate plane has both the x and y axes labeled from negative 5 to 5. An upward-opening parabola and a straight line are plotted. The parabola has a y-intercept at the point 0 comma 1. The straight line has a positive slope and passes through the point 3 comma 0 and the point 0 comma negative 3.
B
Image with description A coordinate plane displays the x-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A downward-opening parabola has a vertex at approximately the point 0 comma 1. It passes through approximately the points negative 1 comma 0 and 1 comma 0, then continues downward beyond the bottom of the graph on both sides. A straight line with a positive slope passes through approximately the points 0 comma negative 3, 2 comma negative 2, and 4 comma negative 1. The parabola and the line intersect at approximately the points negative 1.5 comma negative 3.8 and 1.1 comma negative 2.4.
