Answer:
(1)
Karen:
Alice:
(2): Slope is 2
(3) y intercept
--- For Karen
--- For Alice
(4) They do not intersect
(5) No solution
(6) No
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (1): Complete the equation.
For Karen:
--- the rate
--- additional spendings
For Alice:
--- the rate
--- additional spendings
The general equation is;
For Karen, it becomes
For Alice, it is:
(2): The slopes.
In (1), we have:
--- the rate (for both Karen and Alice).
This rate implies the slope.
<em>Hence, the slope is 2</em>
(3): The y intercept.
The additional spendings in (1) means the y intercept.
So, we have:
--- For Karen
--- For Alice
(4) Because they have the same slope, they do not intersect
(5) Number of solutions.
Subtract both equations
This means there is no solution
(6) Can they spend the same amount on the same number of loaves
In (5), the equations have no solution
<em>Hence, it is not possible to spend the same amount for the same number of loaves</em>
