Answer:
Option F
Step-by-step explanation:
F). x + y = 3 -------(1)
x - 3y = -2 --------(2)
Equation (1) minus equation (2)
(x + y) - (x - 3y) = 3 - (-2)
4y = 5
y = 1.25
Hence, y is positive.
G). x + y = 3 --------(1)
x + y = -2 --------(2)
Both the equations represent parallel lines.
There are no solutions of the given equations.
H). x - 3y = -2 -------(1)
x + y = -2 -------(2)
Equation (2) minus equation (1)
(x + y) - (x - 3y) = -2 - (-2)
4y = 0
y = 0
Since, 0 is neither positive nor negative, y will be neither positive nor negative.
J). x + y = 3 -------(1)
x - y = 3 --------(2)
Equation (1) - Equation (2)
(x + y) - (x - y) = 3 - 3
2y = 0
Hence, y is neither negative nor positive.
Therefore, Option F is the answer.
