(ANSWER ASAP) *Still Unanswered* Lines a & b represent a system of linear equations. Line a passes through the points (1,3) and (3,1). Line b passes through the point (-1,0). Which statement must be true? 1, 2, 3, or 4?

1) If line b passes through the point (-2,1) then there are infinitely many solutions to the system of equations because the slopes of the lines are the same.

2) If line b passes through the point (0,1) then there is more than one solution to the system of equations because the lines are perpendicular.

3) If line b passes through the point (1,3) then there are infinitely many solutions to the system of equations because line a also passes through the point (1,3)

4) If line b passes through the point (1,-2) then there is no solution to the system of equations because the lines are parallel.

Answer:

D: If line B passes through the point (1,-2), then there is no solution to the system of equations because the lines are parallel.
