Answer:
x - intercepts are (-7,0) and (-2,0)
A is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the equation of the parabola
For x- intercept, y = 0
We can split the middle term as 9x = 7x +2x
Now take GCF
Factored out the common term
Apply the zero product property
Solve for x
Hence, x - intercepts are (-7,0) and (-2,0)
A is the correct option.
Answer:
C. x+y = 1 and -x-y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that if a system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, then the resulting equation from using the first step of the elimination method would have no variables and would be true.
1) Let's try canceling out the equations in option C, x+y =-1 and -x-y =-1. Add the two equations together. (Work shown in attached picture.)
2) All of the terms cancel out with each other, leaving only a true statement of 0 = 0. Thus, option C is the answer.
