Question

When analyzing three linear functions, Michele noticed that they all intersected at the point (5, 3). What conclusion can Michele come to about the linear function with the smallest slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

The linear function with the smallest slope must be multiple of one of the other two linear functions if all functions are coplanar. Otherwise, they intersect at the given point in space.

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of two linear functions with two variables have an unique solution on a given plane, as there are three linear function, it means that linear function with the smallest slope must be multiple of one of the other two linear functions.

But, if those functions are not all coplanar and have 3 variables, they intersect at the given point.
