Question

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 2

The statement is false because the lines have an intersection point. When graphed, the solid line y = -x + 3 intersects with the dashed line x + y = 8 at the point (2, 6). Therefore, there is a solution to the system.

Answer 3

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