Answer:

D. It is on the angle bisector of ∠BAC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point Q is equidistant from AB and AC. This implies that AB and AC forms an angle BAC i.e <BAC. An equidistant point is a point that has the same distance from two different reference points.

Bisection is the process by which a line or angle is divided into two equal parts. A line that passes through the point of division is called a bisector, which is of equal distance to either of the reference points.

Thus by construction, a point that would be of equal distance to AB and AC is on an angle bisector of <BAC. So that point Q is on the angle bisector of <BAC.

Answer:
Two

Explanation:
The solution of a system of equations is defined as the values which satisfies both equations.

Graphically, the solutions are represented by the points of intersection between the two equtaions.

In the given graph, we have a circle and a line, we can note that these two intersect in two points.

This means that the system has two solutions

Hope this helps :)

Since you do not want the variable y, you must eliminate $y^{2}-2xy$
