Answer:
C: none
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have two separate functions named 'y.' Eliminate 'y' temporarily by equating these functions together:
x + 2 = y = x - 1
Subtracting x from both sides, we get:
0 + 2 = y = 0 - 1, or
2 = -1
This is never true, so C is the correct answer: NO solutions.
An easier way in which to do this problem is to visualize the graphs of
y = x + 2 and y = x - 1. The graphs are parallel straight lines; they never intersect, and therefore we can conclude "no solution."
