Question

Which statement describes the graph of the system of equations below?

1.5x + 0.2y = 2.68

1.6x + 0.3y = 2.98


The lines are parallel.

The lines overlap at all points.

The lines intersect at (1.6,1.4).

The lines intersect at (3.1,0.5).

In order to see the behavior of the line formed from the equations, we write the given equation in general form which is y=mx+b

1.5x + 0.2y = 2.68 --> y= -7.5x + 13.4

1.6x + 0.3y = 2.98 --> y= -5.33x + 9.93

They definitely are not parallel lines and do not overlap at all p

Answer 2

In order to see the behavior of the line formed from the equations, we write the given equation in general form which is y=mx+b

1.5x + 0.2y = 2.68 --> y= -7.5x + 13.4

1.6x + 0.3y = 2.98 --> y= -5.33x + 9.93

They definitely are not parallel lines and do not overlap at all points. Plotting the equations in a graph, an intersection is observed. This intersection most likely is the third option. The lines at (1.6, 1.4).
