Question

How many solutions exist for the system of equations graphed below?

Answer 1

one

Explanation:

The number of solutions is the number of times the graphs intersect

The graphs intersect one time so there is one solution

Answer 2

One

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

• Reading a coordinate plane
• Solving systems of equations by graphing

Explanation:

If 2 lines are parallel, they will have no solution.

If 2 lines are the same, they will have infinite amount of solutions.

We see from the graph that the 2 lines intersect at one point, near x = 1.5.

∴ our systems has 1 solution.
