The graph shows two lines, A and B.

A graph is shown with x- and y-axes labeled from 0 to 6 at increments of 1. A straight line labeled A joins the ordered pair 2, 6 with the ordered pair 5, 0. Another straight line labeled B joins the ordered pair 0, 2 with the ordered pair 6, 6.
Part A: How many solutions does the pair of equations for lines A and B have? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Part B: What is the solution to the equations of lines A and B? Explain your answer. (5 points)


Sagot :

Answer:

  A. one solution; lines intersect at one point

  B. (x, y) = (3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation will be represented on a graph by a straight line. A pair of equations will graph as a pair of lines. If the lines are not coincident or parallel, they will intersect at exactly one point. That point is the solution to the pair of equations.

A.

A graph of the given points quickly shows the lines are not parallel or coincident. Each point on line A satisfies the equation that describes the line. Each point on line B satisfies the equation that describes line B. The point of intersection is a point that satisfies both equations.

A pair of distinct non-parallel lines can have at most one point of intersection. Hence there can only be one solution to the pair of equations.

B.

The graph shows the solution to the equations for lines A and B is ...

  (x, y) = (3, 4)
