Consider the following system of equations:

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Line $y=-2x+3$ intersects line $y=x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$y=-2x+3$

$y=x-5$

Subtract one equation from other then we get

$-3x+8=0$

$3x=8$

$x=\frac{8}{3}$

Substitute the value of x in first equation then we get

$y=-2(\frac{8}{3})+3=-\frac{16}{3}+3=-\frac{-7}{3}$

Hence, the solution $(\frac{8}{3},-\frac{7}{3})$ is the intersection point of two line equations .

Answer:Line $y=-2x+3$ intersects line $y=x-5$

In a genetic experiment involving flower color in phlox, a ratio of 3 blue-flowered plants to 1 whiteflowered plant was expected

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Expected ratio :

Ratio of blue flowered plants to white flowered plant = 3:1

Observed results:

Number of blue flowered plants = 35

Number of white flowered plants = 14

So, Ratio of blue flowered plants : white flowered plants

$35:14\\\\=5:2$

So, 5:2 ≠ 3:1

Hence, the observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.
