QuestionSolve the system of equations. If the system has no solution, say that it is inconsistent. Graph the lines of the system.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in any answer boxes within your choice.
A. The solution is and . (Type integers or simplified fractions.)
B. There are infinitely many solutions. Using ordered pairs, they can be expressed as , y is any real number
(Simplify your answer. Type an expression using y as the variable as needed.)
C. The system is inconsistent.
Studdy Solution
To graph the lines, rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form ():
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Graph these lines on the same coordinate plane. Notice that they are parallel lines with different intercepts, confirming that there is no intersection point and thus no solution.
