Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded shows two linear equations and their corresponding graph:
- The first equation is .
- The second equation is .
Step 1: Simplifying the equations
- For the first equation , divide through by 2 to get:
- For the second equation , divide by -3 to simplify:
Both equations simplify to the same equation, .
Step 2: Interpreting the result
Since both equations are equivalent, the system of equations represents the same line. Therefore, the graph will show a single line, indicating that every point on the line is a solution to the system.
Step 3: Conclusion
The two equations are dependent and represent the same line, so the system has infinitely many solutions, and all points on the line are solutions.
