Answer:
The system has one solution.
Both lines have the same y-intercept.
The solution is the intersection of the 2 lines.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines are
slope = 0.5
y intercept(put x =0) =5
slope = 1
y intercept(put x =0 ) =5
Both are linear equation thus they have only one solution. Also two non parallel lines meet only at one point.
If you solve these linear equation coordinate of point of intersection of line on graph will come.
