Question

He graphed system represents the rate at which two trucks are being filled, where x represents the time in minutes and y represents the percentage filled.
A diagonal curve rises through (negative 9, negative 50), (negative 4, 0), (0, 40) and (5, 90). A diagonal curve rises through (negative 10, negative 30), (negative 4, 0), (3, 35), (7, 60) and (10, 70). Both curves intersect at (negative 4, 0).

Which statement is true?

A.
The solution is nonviable because the percentage filled cannot be negative.
B.
The solution is nonviable because the time cannot be negative.
C.
The solution is nonviable because the time cannot be partial minutes.
D.
The solution is viable.

Answer 1

The correct option regarding the system of equations is given as follows:

B. The solution is nonviable because the time cannot be negative.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The systems use linear equations, and the solution is the intersection of the lines. In this problem, the curves intersect at (-4,0), that is, they have the same percentage at a time of -4 seconds, which is nonviable, as the time cannot be negative, hence option B is correct.
