Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

We can substitute the points (-4, 7) and (5, -8) to find the slope:

(-8 - 7) / (5 - (-4))

(-15) / (5 + 4)

(-15) / 9

This can be simplified to

- 5 / 3

which is option C

You have to find first the discriminant
∆=8^2-4*(-1) *(-7) =36
x=(-8±√36) /-2=(-8±6)/-2=4±3=1 or 7
So x(1)=1 or x(2)=7
-x^2+8x-7=[x-x(1) ][x-x(2) ]=(x-1) (x-7)

The graph of a system of equations with the same slope and the same y-intercepts will have no solutions.

Liula [17]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>The graph of a system of equations with the same slope and the same y-intercepts will never have no solutions. Rather, it has an infinite number of solutions since all points of the lines intersects.</span>
