Q. How many solutions does the system of equations below have?y=74x−2y=43x−59Choices:(A)no solution(B)one solution(C)infinitely many solutions
Slope Comparison: System of equations:y=74x−2y=43x−59Are the slopes same or different?Slope of first equation: 74Slope of second equation: 43Slopes of the equations are different.
Y-Intercept Comparison: System of equations:y=74x−2y=43x−59Are the y-intercepts same or different?y-intercept of first equation: −2y-intercept of second equation: −59y-intercepts of the equations are different.
Number of Solutions: System of equations:y=74x−2y=43x−59Determine the number of solutions to the system of equations.Since the system of equations has different slopes, they are not parallel and will intersect at one point.The system of equations has 1 solution.
