Q. How many solutions does the system have?{3y=−6x+9y=−6x+9Choose 1 answer:(A) Exactly one solution(B) No solutions(C) Infinitely many solutions
Analyze Equations: Let's analyze the given system of equations:3y=−6x+9y=−6x+9First, we need to compare the equations to see if they are the same or different.
Simplify First Equation: We can simplify the first equation by dividing each term by 3 to see if it matches the second equation:(3y)/3=(−6x+9)/3y=−2x+3Now we have the simplified form of the first equation.
Compare Equations: Let's compare the simplified first equation y=−2x+3 with the second equation y=−6x+9. We can see that the slopes and y-intercepts are different: Slope of the first equation: −2Y-intercept of the first equation: 3 Slope of the second equation: −6 Y-intercept of the second equation: 9
Identify Different Slopes: Since the slopes are different, the lines will intersect at exactly one point. Therefore, the system of equations has exactly one solution.
