A system of equations is given below. - 3x + 6 and y = 6 - 3x

Which of the following statements best describes the two lines?

They have different slopes and different y-intercepts, so they have no solution. They have different slopes and different y-intercepts, so they have one solution. They have the same slope and the same y-intercept, so they have no solution. They have the same slope and the same y-intercept, so they have infinitely many solutions.

    Infinite solutions Answer explained below

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us see the various conditions for intersections of two lines in simplest way.

    1. Same slope and same y intercept : Infinite solutions

    2. Same slope and different y intercepts : No solution

    3. Different slope and same y intercept : unique solution

    4. Different slope and different y intercept : Unique solution

    Here slope means the tangent of the angle line makes with the positive x axis and y intercept is the y coordinate at which the line intersect the y axis.

    In our equations, we our slopes and y intercepts as

    y=-3x+6

    slope = - 3 and y intercept = 6

    y=6-3x

    slope = - 3 and y intercept = 6

    Hence same slope and same y intercept, thus have infinite solutions
