Answer:

No point

Explanation:

This is a trick question because if you break down the graphing equations to y=mx+b, you see that it is a linear graph, so it will have a straight line. For the first equations, y=x+3, you look at the original equations, y=mx+b. m=slope, b=x-intercept. Slope is rise/run (y/x) so the slope would be up one, over one (1/1=1). The x-intercept is 3 so its a straight line but it intercepts at 3. The next equation is the exact same thing, but the x-intercept is at 1. A straight line that intercepts at 1. So it is two parallel lines that never ever touch. So this is a trick question.
