No, the lines are parallel.
thats wrong
I apologize for the incorrect response. Susie is actually incorrect. The lines are not parallel and they do intersect at a single point.
how??
I apologize for the confusion. It appears there was a mistake in the analysis. Let's re-evaluate the system of equations.
First line: The two given points are (2, -13) and (-2, -1).
The slope of the first line is: m1 = (-1 - (-13)) / (-2 - 2) = 12 / (-4) = -3/1 = -3.
Using the point-slope form, we can write the equation of the first line as: y - y1 = m1(x - x1).
Using the point (2, -13), the equation becomes: y + 13 = -3(x - 2).
Simplifying, we get: y + 13 = -3x + 6.
Second line: The two given points are (5, -22) and (-3, 2).
The slope of the second line is: m2 = (2 - (-22)) / (-3 - 5) = 24 / (-8) = -3/1 = -3.
Using the point-slope form, we can write the equation of the second line as: y - y2 = m2(x - x2).
Using the point (5, -22), the equation becomes: y + 22 = -3(x - 5).
Simplifying, we get: y + 22 = -3x + 15.
Now, let's compare the equations of the two lines:
First line: y + 13 = -3x + 6
Second line: y + 22 = -3x + 15
We can see that the slopes of the two lines are the same (-3), but the y-intercepts are different (6 for the first line and 15 for the second line).
Since the slopes of the lines are the same, but the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel and do not intersect at any point.
Therefore, the correct answer is: No, Susie is not correct.

how r they if they intercept
Apologies for the confusion. You are right. If the lines intersect, they cannot be parallel. In this case, the lines do indeed intersect since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different. Therefore, Susie is correct, and the lines have infinitely many solutions.
