Examine the system of equations.

y = 2x – 3,

y = –3

Which statement about the system of linear equations is true?
The lines have different slopes.
There is no solution to the system.
The lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.
The solution is (–3, –9). can someone give me there insta and help me with my work i will pay you.

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation: Because if you add 2x3 it equals 6 so if u add 2x2 2 times thats ur answer when you add three.

Answer:
The first statement “The lines have different slopes” That’s the only true statement. In the equation y=2x-3 it tells us that the slope is 2, but in the other equation, it has no slope.

Reasoning behind the other statements:
It can’t be statement 2 because there is a solution. And the solution is (0,-3)

It can’t be statement 3 either because both equations DONT have the same slope, if they did, the graphs would be the same and will have infinite solutions. Also it says “different y-Intercepts” BUT they do have the same y- intercepts, and the y-intercept is -3

Now finally, the last statement isn’t true because like I mentioned earlier, the solution is (0,-3) NOT (-3,-9)
