Part 1 Solve the system by graphing. Tell whether the system has one​ solution, infinitely many​ solutions, or no solution. y - 3x = 2 6y = 18x + 12

1 answer

To solve the system by graphing, we will graph each equation on the same coordinate plane and identify the point where the two lines intersect.

First, we'll graph the equation y - 3x = 2. To do this, let's rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The equation y - 3x = 2 can be rewritten as:
y = 3x + 2

Now, we can graph the equation y = 3x + 2. Here's the graph:

{{{ graph( 300, 200, -5, 5, -5, 10, 3x + 2) }}}

Next, let's graph the equation 6y = 18x + 12. We'll also rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form:

6y = 18x + 12
y = 3x + 2

This equation is the same as the previous one, y = 3x + 2. Hence, the two equations represent the same line. This means that the system has infinitely many solutions since all the points on the line are solutions.
