Question

The graph for the equation y = x minus 4 is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, negative 4) and (4, 0). Which equation, when graphed with the given equation, will form a system that has an infinite number of solutions? y minus x = negative 4 y minus x = negative 2

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is:

y - x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphed equation is:

y = x - 4

The equation which will have infinite number of solution should overlap the graphed equation at infinity points.

It is only possible when both the equations are exactly same.

Consider the line given:

y - x = -4

Rearrange the equation:

y = x - 4

Thus, it is the same as the first equation.

Verify for point (0,-4)

y - x = -4

-4 - 0 = -4

-4 = -4

Proved.

Verify for point (4,0)

y - x = -4

0 - 4 = -4

0 = -4+4

0 = 0
