Determine if the solution set for the system of equations shown is the empty set, contains one point or is infinite.

Answer:

  one point

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of two linear equations will have one point in the solution set if the slopes of the lines are different.

__

When the equations are written in the same form, the ratio of x-coefficient to y-coefficient is related to the slope. It will be different if there is one solution.

  • ratio for first equation: 1/1 = 1
  • ratio for second equation: 1/-1 = -1

These lines have <em>different slopes</em>, so there is one solution to the system of equations.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When the equations are in slope-intercept form with the y-coefficient equal to 1, the x-coefficient is the slope.

  y = mx +b . . . . . slope = m

When the equations are in standard form (as in this problem), the ratio of x- to y-coefficient is the opposite of the slope.

  ax +by = c . . . . . slope = -a/b

As long as the equations are in the same form, the slopes can be compared by comparing the ratios of coefficients.

__

If the slopes are the same, the lines may be either parallel (empty solution set) or coincident (infinite solution set). When the equations are in the same form with reduced coefficients, the lines will be coincident if they are the same equation.

Which of the following ratios is equivalent to 49:35?
Arte-miy333 [17]

The best way to find it is to reduce each ratio you work with to its
lowest terms,and see which ones are equal. To reduce a ratio to its
lowest terms, divide each number by their greatest common factor.

First, the one that you're trying to match:  <u>49:35</u> .
The greatest common factor of 49 and 35 is 7 .
Divide each number by 7 . . .  <em>7:5</em> . . . <u>that's</u> what you have to match.

<u>7:4</u>
Their greatest common factor is ' 1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.

<u>14:25</u>
Again, their greatest common factor is '1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.

<u>21:15</u>
Their greatest common factor is ' 3 '.
Divide both numbers by 3 . . . <em>7:5 </em>.
That's it !

14+2x=62        (x=Pass cost)
-14        -14
(2x=48)/2
x=24

6.50+5.75+1.15x=18
12.25+1.15x=18
-12.25          -12.25
1.15x=5.75 divide both sides by 1.15
x=5
