How could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?
How would you locate the solution of the two linear graphs on the coordinate plane?
The solution to this system could possibly have this meaning.
Options:
1. The point where the 9 foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks
2. No way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points
3. The point where the lines cross the y-axis after 3 weeks
4. the point showing after 3 weeks, the plant was 9 feet tall
5. Find the point where the two lines cross; (3, 9)
6. From the origin, find the y-intercepts and subtract them
7. Curving the lines around so that they cross multiple times
8. Making the lines parallel to each other

Answer 1

Here is the matching of the descriptions with the correct statements from the options provided:

1. How could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?

   • Option 2: No way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points

2. How would you locate the solution of the two linear graphs on the coordinate plane?

   • Option 5: Find the point where the two lines cross; (3, 9)

3. The solution to this system could possibly have this meaning.

   • Option 4: The point showing after 3 weeks, the plant was 9 feet tall

These matches should effectively align the descriptions with the appropriate statements.
