Question

PLEASE HELP

The graph shows two lines, A and B.

A graph is shown with x- and y-axes labeled from 0 to 6 at increments of 1. A straight line labeled A joins the ordered pair 2, 6 with the ordered pair 6, 2. Another straight line labeled B joins the ordered pair 0, 3 with the ordered pair 4.5, 6.


Part A: How many solutions does the pair of equations for lines A and B have? Explain your answer.


Part B: What is the solution to the equations of lines A and B? Explain your answer

Answer 1

C(2, 2) is the solution to both lines A and B.

Explanation:

Line A is given as:

A straight line labeled A joins the ordered pair 3, 0 and the ordered pair 0, 6.

We know that the equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is calculated as:

Hence, the equation of line is:

Hence, equation of line A is:

Similarly B is a line passing through (0,0) and (5,5).

Hence, the equation of line B is:

So, from the graph we observe that, the point of intersection of the two lines is (2,2).

Thus, option C is correct.
