Question

Which statement describes the graph of the system of equations?

The lines are parallel.
The lines are coinciding.
The lines intersect at (1, 0).
The lines intersect at (–1, 0).

Answer 1

I can't see the image — could you either paste the two equations here or re-upload the picture?

Meanwhile, here are quick ways you can decide which choice is correct:

1. Put each equation into slope–intercept form y = mx + b.
- If the slopes m are equal and the y-intercepts b are different → lines are parallel.
- If the slopes and intercepts are both equal → lines coincide.
- If the slopes are different → the lines intersect at exactly one point; solve the system to find that point.

2. To check the offered intersection points directly, substitute the coordinates into both equations:
- If (1, 0) satisfies both equations, that's the intersection.
- If (−1, 0) satisfies both equations, that's the intersection.

Send the two equations (or a clearer image) and I’ll identify which statement is correct and show the work.
