The solution to a system of two linear equations is x = 3 weeks; y = 9 feet Match the description with the correct statement. (3 points) Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse. The solution to this system could possibly have this meaning. How could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system? How would you locate the solution of the two linear graphs on the coordinate plane?

answers: :: Curving the lines around so that they cross multiple times
:: From the origin, find the y-intercepts and subtract them
:: The point where the 9 foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks
:: The point where the lines cross the y-axis after 3 weeks
:: No way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points
Making the lines parallel to each other
:: Find the point where the two lines cross; (3, 9)

Here are the matches for each description with the corresponding statements:

  1. The solution to this system could possibly have this meaning.

    • Response: The point where the 9 foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks
  2. How could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?

    • Response: No way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points
  3. How would you locate the solution of the two linear graphs on the coordinate plane?

    • Response: Find the point where the two lines cross; (3, 9)

This arrangement effectively matches the descriptions provided with their appropriate meanings based on the context of the linear equations.
