Answer
Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments on both the x and y axes. A solid line and a dashed line with arrows at both the ends are drawn parallel to each other on the graph. The equation of the solid line is y equals negative x plus 3. The equation of the dashed line is x plus y equals 8.

Solving the system y=−x+3 and x+y=8 by graphing shows that there is no solution to the system. Is this statement true or false? Explain.

Answer
Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments on both the x and y axes. A solid line and a dashed line with arrows at both the ends are drawn parallel to each other on the graph. The solid line passes through left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 2 comma 0 right parenthesis. The dashed line passes through left parenthesis negative 7 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 7 comma 0 right parenthesis.

Does the graph show the system of equations x+y=2 and −x+y=7? Should the lines for the system be parallel?

The system of equations is given by:

y = x + 5
y = -x + 5

To determine the number of solutions, we can compare the slopes of both equations.

In the first equation, the slope is 1 (since the coefficient of x is 1).
In the second equation, the slope is -1 (since the coefficient of x is -1).

Since the slopes are different, the two equations represent two different lines. These lines will intersect at a single point, so there is only 1 solution to the system of equations.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
1

The statement is false, because the lines have an intersection point.

The given equations are y = -x + 3 and x + y = 8. By graphing these equations, we can see that the solid line and the dashed line intersect at the point (3, 5). This intersection point indicates that there is a solution to the system of equations, contradicting the statement that there is no solution.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
The statement is false, because the lines have an intersection point.

The graph shows the lines for the system of equations x+y=2 and −x+y=7, and the lines should intersect.

From the given information, we can see that the solid line passes through the points (0, 2) and (2, 0), and the dashed line passes through the points (-7, 0) and (7, 0).

By substituting the coordinates of these points into the equations, we can verify that they satisfy both equations:
For the solid line:
(0) + (2) = 2 (satisfies x+y=2)
(2) + (0) = 2 (satisfies x+y=2)

For the dashed line:
(-0) + (0) = 7 (does not satisfy −x+y=7)
(7) + (0) = 7 (satisfies −x+y=7)

Therefore, the graph does not correctly represent the equation −x+y=7. Instead of being a horizontal line passing through (7, 0), it should be a line with a non-zero slope.

Since the lines do not correctly represent the system of equations and do not satisfy the properties of the given equations, we can conclude that the correct answer is:
The graph of −x+y=7 is incorrect. The lines should intersect.

The correct answer is the graph described as:

"A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A line is plotted on the plane. A downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points (0, 6) and (6, 0)."

In this graph, the line represents the equation y = -x + 6. This line intersects the x-axis and the y-axis, indicating that it has an infinite number of solutions. Additionally, the line 3x + 3y = 18 can be simplified to x + y = 6, which is the same equation as y = -x + 6. Therefore, the two equations represent the same line and have an infinite number of solutions.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A line is plotted on the plane. A downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points (0, 6) and (6, 0).
