To determine which of the graphs represents the system of equations with no solution, we first need to analyze the given equations:
- \( y = 2x + 4 \) (This is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 4.)
- \( -2x + y = 8 \) (We can rearrange this into slope-intercept form as \( y = 2x + 8 \).)
Now, we can observe that both lines represented by these equations have the same slope (2), which means they are parallel. However, they have different y-intercepts (4 for the first line and 8 for the second line). Since these lines are parallel, they will never intersect and thus, the system of equations has no solution.
Analyzing the Graphs:
We need a graph with two parallel lines. Here’s the summary of each option:
-
Graph 1:
- Solid line passes through (2, 0) and (0, 4).
- Dashed line passes through (-4, 0) and (0, -8).
-
Graph 2:
- Solid line passes through (-2, 0) and (0, -4).
- Dashed line passes through (-4, 0) and (0, -8).
-
Graph 3:
- Solid line passes through (0, 4) and (-2, 0).
- Dashed line passes through (4, 0) and (0, -8).
-
Graph 4:
- Solid line passes through (0, 4) and (-2, 0).
- Dashed line passes through (-4, 0) and (0, 8).
Identifying the Correct Graph:
- Graph 1 has a solid line with different slope.
- Graph 2 has a solid line with different slope.
- Graph 3: The solid line could potentially be parallel to the dashed line, but the slopes differ.
- Graph 4: The solid line goes through (0, 4) and (−2, 0), which matches the slope of 2, but the dashed line diverges in intercept.
Conclusion:
The graph correctly showing the system of equations \(y = 2x + 4\) and \(-2x + y = 8\) with no solution is likely Graph 4, which depicts parallel lines as analyzed above.
