Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The systems of linear equations can have:

1. No solution: When the lines have the same slope but different y-intercept. This means that the lines are parallel and never intersect, therefore, the system of equations has no solution.

2. One solution: When the lines have different slopes and intersect at one point in the plane. The point of intersection will be the solution of the system

3. Infinitely many solutions: When the lines have the same slope and the y-intercepts are equal. This means that the equations represents the same line and there are infinite number of solution.

Therefore, based on the explained above, the conclusion is: Systems of equations with different slopes and different y-intercepts never have more than one solution.

Answer:

1) (2.2, -1.4)

2) (1.33, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1)

Two lines, with their corresponding equations are given and we have to find the solution to the system of equations.

The given lines are:

Equation of Line 1:

$y=\frac{-7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}$

This line passes through the points: (0, 2.5) , (2.2, -1.4)

Equation of Line 2:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x-3$

This line passes through the points (0, -3) , (2.2, -1.4)

By looking at the graph/given data we have to find the solution of these linear equations.

Remember that the solution of linear equations is an ordered pair, through which both the lines pass i.e. the point at which both the given lines intersect is the solution of the linear equations.

From the given data we can see that both the lines pass through one common point, (2.2, -1.4). Since, both lines pass through this point, this means this is the point of intersection of the lines and hence there solution.

So, the answer to this questions is (2.2, -1.4)

Question 2)

The given equations are:

y = 1.5x - 1 Equation 1

y = 1 Equation 2

We can solve these equations by method of substitution.

Substituting the value of y from Equation 2, in Equation 1, we get:

1 = 1.5x - 1

1 + 1 = 1.5x

2 = 1.5x

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33
