The y-intercept represents the initial girth of the tree. Assuming that the X-axis represents time in this scenario (as it usually does) the y-axis, therefore, represents the girth of the tree. The y-intercept is located where X = 0. So if no time has passed then this must be the first measurement of the girth of the tree.
Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiply the first equation by three to get 3x+12y=69
Then subtract 12y from both sides of the second equation
Then add the first system and the second like this:

Because 0≠70, the system has no solutions
The question doesn't seem to be written correctly, I'm not able to make much sense of it.
