Answer to Problem 34E
The system is inconsistent.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
We have:
We rewrite the two equations in slope-intercept form:
The slopes of the two lines are different, thus the two lines intersect in one point and the system is consistent.
Therefore, we eliminate the graphs a andd .
The x-intercept of the one line is 0 and of other line is − 3. The graph (b) is the only one that fits.
Thus, the correct solution is graph (b).
If you solve the original equation by elimination, the ordered pair and one solution to the system of equations is
Therefore, the system is consistent and the equations must intersect when graphed. The only graph where two lines intersect at
