Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both lines have same slope so the graph of both equation will be same and hence it will overlap each other that is why the Henry could only see one line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A system of linear equation 3x - 2y = 4 and 9x - 6y = 12
We have to show whey when Henry graphed the equations 3x-2y=4 and 9x-6y=12 he could only see one line.
Consider the given system of linear equation
3x - 2y = 4 ................(1)
9x - 6y = 12 ..................(2)
Since,
Equation (2) is multiple of equation (1),
3 × ( 3x - 2y = 4) = 9x - 6y = 12
Also the slope of given equations are same
For equation (1),
Differentiate with respect to x, we get,
3-2dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = 3/2
Also for equation (2),
Differentiate with respect to x, we get,
9 - 6dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = 9/6 = 3/2
Since, both lines have same slope so the graph of both equation will be same and hence it will overlap each other.
That is why the Henry could only see one line.
