Susie determined that the system of equations below has infinitely many solutions. *Use your graphing calculator!

The first line goes through the points (2, -13) and (-2, -1)

The second line goes through the points (5, -22) and (-3, 2)

(1 point)

Yes, Susie is correct.

Line 1: slope = (-13 - (-1)) / (2 - (-2)) = -12/4 = -3, equation y = -3x - 7.
Line 2: slope = (-22 - 2) / (5 - (-3)) = -24/8 = -3, and using (5,-22) gives -22 = -15 + b → b = -7, so y = -3x - 7.

The lines are identical, so there are infinitely many solutions.
