Dimi analyzed this system of equations and determined that there is no solution.

y = 3x – 2
y + 2 = 3x



Is he correct?



A. Yes, because the lines represented by the equations have the same slope.

B. No, because the lines represented by the equations have different slopes.

C. Yes, because the lines represented by the equations have the same y-intercept.

D. No, because the lines represented have the same slope and the same y-intercepts.

Answer:

Option D-No, because the lines represented have the same slope and the same y-intercepts.

Explanation:

Given : Equation 1 - y=3x-2

Equation 1 - y-2=3x

Dimi analyzed the equations have no solution.

To determine : Whether he is correct or not

Solution : No he is not correct because both the equations are same and having same slope and the same y intercept

Since the equations are same they have infinite solution.

therefore, Option D is correct - No, because the lines represented have the same slope and the same y-intercepts.
