Answer 1

Here are the correct responses for each question based on historical precedents and actions taken during George Washington's presidency:

1. Which of the following were precedents that George Washington set during his presidency? Select all that apply.

   • He chose well-known leaders to run his executive departments and serve as his advisors.
   • He chose to not run for a third term.

   (Note: The first statement about establishing a judicial system of nine justices is partially correct but not primarily attributed to Washington; it was determined by Congress later. The statement about a Tax and Tariff cabinet position is misleading; the position referred to is the Secretary of the Treasury, which Hamilton held, but it doesn’t specifically set a precedent.)

2. What was the flaw in the act passed by Congress that established a tax on whiskey?

   • It did not spread the tax burden evenly.

3. What policy did President Washington follow during the period of war in Europe following the French Revolution?

   • He remained neutral toward all European powers to avoid conflict.

4. How did Alexander Hamilton plan to pay off the national debt?

   • by taxing imports

These answers reflect the actions and policies established during Washington's presidency and Hamilton's financial plans.

Answer 5

Let's go through each question step by step to determine the correct answers.

First Question

Determine the number of solutions to this system of linear equations:

1. \( y = x + 5 \)
2. \( y = -x + 5 \)

To find the solutions:

• Set the two equations equal to find the intersection:

\( x + 5 = -x + 5 \)

Solving gives:

\( 2x = 0 \)

\( x = 0 \)

Substituting \( x = 0 \) back into either equation gives \( y = 5 \).

Thus, there is 1 unique solution.

Response:

• 1

---

Second Question

Is this statement true or false?

• "Solving the system \( y = -x + 3 \) and \( x + y = 8 \) by graphing shows that there is no solution to the system."

First, analyze the equations:

1. \( y = -x + 3 \)
2. \( x + y = 8 \) → can be rewritten as \( y = -x + 8 \).

Since both equations have the same slope of -1 (they are both in the form \( y = -x + b \)), they are parallel and will not intersect.

Response:

• The statement is true, because the lines are parallel.

---

Third Question

Does the graph show the system of equations \( x + y = 2 \) and \( -x + y = 7 \)? Should the lines for the system be parallel?

1. Convert the equations:
   • \( x + y = 2 \) → \( y = -x + 2 \)
   • \( -x + y = 7 \) → \( y = x + 7 \)

These two equations have different slopes, meaning they will intersect at one point. Therefore, they shouldn't be parallel.

Response:

• The graph of \( -x + y = 7 \) is incorrect. The lines should intersect.

---

Fourth Question

Which of these graphs shows that the linear system \( y = -x + 6 \) and \( 3x + 3y = 18 \) has an infinite number of solutions?

The second equation can be simplified:

\( 3x + 3y = 18 \) → divide through by 3:

\( x + y = 6 \) → \( y = -x + 6 \)

This means both equations are the same line.

To have an infinite number of solutions, the graphs need to overlap completely. Look for two graphs that are the same line (one should be a solid line, while the other is a dotted line).

Response:

• A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants shows x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. Two parallel lines are plotted on the plane. A solid downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 0 right parenthesis. A dotted downward slanting line with arrows at both ends passes through the points left parenthesis 0 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 0 right parenthesis.

Answer 7

To determine which graph represents the linear system with an infinite number of solutions for the equations:

1. \(-2x + y = 6\)
2. \(4x - 2y = -12\)

First, let's rearrange and analyze the equations:

Equation 1: \[ y = 2x + 6 \]

Equation 2: To rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form, we start by rearranging it: \[ 4x - 2y = -12 \] \[ -2y = -4x - 12 \] \[ y = 2x + 6 \]

Notice that both equations simplify to the same line, \(y = 2x + 6\). This means that the lines represented by both equations are identical, leading to an infinite number of solutions, as every point on the line is a solution to both equations.

Now, look at the choices:

1. Graph of two intersecting lines. This indicates one unique solution, not infinite.

2. Graph of one line. This is not correct because you need to see both equations represented.

3. Graph of a single upward slanting line with arrows at both ends. If it's the same line as \(y = 2x + 6\) only once, that shows infinite solutions.

4. Graph of two parallel lines. This indicates no solution because parallel lines never intersect.

Conclusion:

The option that shows an infinite number of solutions is:

The graph that shows a single line (the same line represented by both equations).

While you provided a long description of the line arrangements, the correct answer would be the option identifying them as the same line or showing two identical lines stacked on top of each other.

Please confirm and select the graph depicting the identical line, as that indicates the infinite solutions scenario.
