Question

(08.01) Line H is represented by the following equation: 2x + 2y = 8 What is most likely the equation for line K so the set of equations has infinitely many solutions? x + 2y = 2 x + y = 4 2x + y = 6 x − y = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

The second option you listed: x + y = 4 gives the same line as H, and therefore renders infinite number of solutions (as many as every point on the line)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to look for the equation that exactly matches the given one :

2 x + 2 y = 8

notice dividing both sides of this equation by "2" we get:

x + y = 4

SO this equation represents exactly the same line as 2 x + 2 y = 8 does, and therefore their graphs overlap completely
