Answer 8

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)
Responses

Both graphs are correct. The lines should be parallel.
Both graphs are correct. The lines should be parallel.

The graph of x+y=2 is incorrect. The lines should intersect.
The graph of x plus y equals 2 is incorrect. The lines should intersect.

The graph of −x+y=7 is incorrect. The lines should be parallel.
The graph of negative x plus y equals 7 is incorrect. The lines should be parallel.

The graph of −x+y=7 is incorrect. The lines should intersect.

Answer 9

To determine the relationship between the two lines given by the equations \( x + y = 2 \) and \( -x + y = 7 \), we can analyze their slopes.

1. Convert to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

   • For \( x + y = 2 \): \[ y = -x + 2 \] The slope (m) is -1.

   • For \( -x + y = 7 \): \[ y = x + 7 \] The slope (m) is 1.

2. Comparison of slopes:

   • The first equation (slope -1) and the second equation (slope 1) have different slopes, meaning the lines are not parallel and will intersect.

Based on this analysis, the correct response is: The graph of \( -x + y = 7 \) is incorrect. The lines should intersect.
