Deedra has the equations for lines A and B. When she solved for the point where these two lines intersect, she ended up with the equation 3 = 7. What must be true about the two lines?

Respuesta :

we can take a peek at two of those lines  hmmm say y = 5x + 3 and y = 5x + 7.

let's notice, those two equations for those lines are in slope-intercept form, so let's solve the system.

since y = y then

5x + 3 = 5x + 7

3  = 7    what the?

well, notice, both lines have the same slope of 5, but different y-intercept, one has it at y = 3 and the other at y = 7, what does that mean?

it means that both lines are parallel to each other, one may well be above the other, but both are parallel, and since a solution to the system is where their graphs intersect, well, parallel lines never touch, so a system with two parallel lines has no solutions.

The two lines are parallel.

We have a girl Deedra who has the equations for lines A and B. When she solved for the point where these two lines intersect, she ended up with the equation 3 = 7.

We have to investigate what it tells about the nature of lines.

What is the slope - intercept form of equation of line?

The slope intercept form of an equation of line is -

y = mx + c

Let's assume we have two lines with their equations be -

[tex]y_{1} = m_{1} x_{1} + c\\y_{2} = m_{2} x_{2} + d[/tex]

To find the intersecting points of these two lines, then -

[tex]y_{1} =y_{2} \\x_{1} =x_{2}[/tex]

Therefore -

[tex]m_{1} x_{1} +c =m_{2} x_{2} +d\\[/tex]

Now, in the question she found out that 3 =7 which is same c = d. To fulfill this condition, the slope of these two lines should be equal. Hence, we can conclude that the two lines are parallel.
