Concept explainers
To explain: The statement that describe the graph of two equations.
A. The lines are parallel.
B. The lines are the same.
C. The lines intersect in only one point.
D. The lines intersect in more than one point, but are the same.
Answer to Problem 9PT
The system of equations is represent parallel lines. Option A. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The system of equations
Formula used:
The slope intercept of a line is
Calculation:
Consider the system of equations
Recall that the slope intercept of a line is
Therefore, the equation
Therefore, the equation
It is observed that both the lines have same slope but different intercepts.
Therefore, the lines are parallel.
Thus, the system of equations is represent parallel lines. Option A. is correct.
