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 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?

(1 point)

To solve this problem, let’s break down the given equations and their graphical representations.

1. **Equations**:
- The first equation is \(x + y = 2\).
- The second equation is \(-x + y = 7\).

2. **Slope and Intercept**:
- For the equation \(x + y = 2\):
- Rearranging gives \(y = -x + 2\), which has a slope of \(-1\).
- For the equation \(-x + y = 7\):
- Rearranging gives \(y = x + 7\), which has a slope of \(1\).

3. **Determining Line Characteristics**:
- The first line (from \(x + y = 2\)) has a slope of \(-1\).
- The second line (from \(-x + y = 7\)) has a slope of \(1\).
- Since the slopes are different (\(-1\) and \(1\)), these lines will **intersect** at some point, which means there is **one solution** for the system.

4. **Graph Interpretation**:
- According to the problem, the graph shows the lines as **parallel**.
- Parallel lines would imply they do not intersect, indicating there would be **no solution** to the system of equations.

5. **Conclusion**:
- Since the two lines are not parallel (due to different slopes), the graphs provided in the question must be incorrect.
- Therefore, the correct answer from the responses would be:
- **The graph of \(-x+y=7\) is incorrect. The lines should intersect.**

This response indicates that the representations shown in the graph do not correctly reflect the nature of the equations provided.
