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