The figure presents the graph of two intersecting lines in the x y plane with the origin labeled O. The integers negative 5 through 5 are indicated on each axis. One line begins above the x axis and to the left of the y axis, and trends downward and to the right. It crosses the y axis between 0 and 1, then crosses the x axis between 1 and 2, and ends below the x axis and to the right of the y axis. The other line begins below the x axis and slightly to the left of the y axis, and trends upward and to the right. It crosses the y axis at negative 5, then crosses the x axis between 1 and 2, and ends above the x axis and to the right of the y axis. The two lines intersect at the point where both lines cross the x axis between 1 and 2.

Which of the following systems of equations has the same solution as the system of equations graphed above?

A
$Equation 1: y equals 0. Equation 2: x equals three halves$
B
$Equation 1: y equals three halves. Equation 2: x equals 0$
C
$Equation 1: y equals 0. Equation 2: x equals 1$
D
$Equation 1: y equals 1. Equation 2: x equals 0$
