The two equations are:

1. \( 2x - 7y = 4 \)
2. \( 2x - 7y = -4 \)

These equations have the same left-hand side but different right-hand sides. This means that the lines represented by these equations are parallel and will never intersect.

Therefore, the system of equations has **no solution.**

The correct response is **2**.

Let's analyze the two equations:

1. \( y = -3x + 5 \)
2. \( 2y = -6x + 10 \)

We can simplify the second equation by dividing everything by 2:

\[
y = -3x + 5
\]

Now both equations are identical. Since they represent the same line, they have infinitely many solutions.

Thus, the correct response is **3**.

Let's analyze the given equations:

1. \( y = -x + 3 \) (This is in slope-intercept form)
2. \( x + y = 8 \) (We can rearrange this to slope-intercept form: \( y = -x + 8 \))

Now, comparing the two equations:

1. The first equation, \( y = -x + 3 \), has a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 3.
2. The second equation, rearranged to \( y = -x + 8 \), also has a slope of -1 but a y-intercept of 8.

Since both lines have the same slope (-1) but different y-intercepts (3 and 8), they are parallel and will never intersect. Therefore, there is no solution to the system.

The correct response is:

**The statement is true, because the lines are parallel.**

Let's analyze the two equations:

1. \( x + y = 2 \)
2. \( -x + y = 7 \)

First, we can rearrange them to slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \):

1. For the first equation \( x + y = 2 \):
\[
y = -x + 2
\]
(Slope = -1, Y-intercept = 2)

2. For the second equation \( -x + y = 7 \):
\[
y = x + 7
\]
(Slope = 1, Y-intercept = 7)

Now, compare the slopes:
- The slope of the first line is -1.
- The slope of the second line is 1.

Since the slopes are different, the lines are **not parallel** and will intersect at some point.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**The graph of \( -x + y = 7 \) is incorrect. The lines should intersect.**

To determine if the linear system has an infinite number of solutions, we first need to analyze the equations:

1. **Equation 1**: \( -2x + y = 6 \)
2. **Equation 2**: \( 4x - 2y = -12 \)

To see if the two equations represent the same line (which would indicate an infinite number of solutions), we can manipulate the second equation.

First, we can rewrite the second equation:

\[
4x - 2y = -12
\]

We can divide the entire equation by 2 to simplify it:

\[
2x - y = -6
\]

Next, we can rearrange this into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

\[
y = 2x + 6
\]

Now, let's review the first equation:

Starting from \( -2x + y = 6 \):

We can rewrite it in slope-intercept form:

\[
y = 2x + 6
\]

We can see that both equations rewrite to the same equation:

\[
y = 2x + 6
\]

Since both equations represent the same line, we can conclude that the system has an **infinite number of solutions**.

To find the graph corresponding to this conclusion, look for a graph where both lines overlap completely (they are the exact same line).

If you have specific graphs to choose from, please share them so I can help identify which graph shows an infinite number of solutions. Since they represent the same line, the correct graph would depict one line (and not two distinct lines).
