Answer: D. The equations represent circles that result in the same graphs.

When two equations result in one graph, it means they will have infinite solutions. Solutions are what do you call the points of intersection of two equations being graph together. In the problem, these two equations are equations of a circle with a radius of 12.25.

-10x^2 - 10y^2 = -300 simplified.. will be, 5x^2 + 5y^2 = 150 which is the same with the next equation.
