Question

Which graph represents the solution to the given system? Y = -6x-2Y+2=-6x

Answer 1

Answer: The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

So, having the first equation:

$y=- 6x - 2$

You can identify that:

$m=-6\\b=-2$

 By definition, the line intersects the x-axis when $y=0$. Subsituting this value into the equation and solving for "x", you get that the x-intercept is the following:

$0=- 6x - 2\\\\2=-6x\\\\x=-\frac{1}{3}\\\\x=-0.333$

Now you can graph the line.

Now you must solve for "y" from the second equation:

$y +2=- 6x\\\\y=-6x-2$

 You can identify that:

$m=-6\\b=-2$

Notice that the slopes and the y-intercepts of the first line and the second line are equal; this means that they are exactly the same line and the System of equations  has Infinitely many solutions.
