Question

Find the solution to the system of equations given below: y - (1/4)x = -1 y - 2 = 4x 1) A. No solution 2) B. Infinite solutions 3) C. One solution

Answer 1

Answer: C. One solution

Explanation:

Set up both the equations in slope-intercept form:

1. y = (1/4)x - 1

2. y = 4x + 2

Notice that they have two different slopes. This means that they are not parallel or the same line, so they have to intersect at some point.
