Question

Graph the system of equations. Then determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has one solution, name it.

y= -6x + 6
y= 3x - 3

Answer 1

The system has one solution at (1,0).

Explanation:

Consider the provided system of equations

y=-6x+6

Substitute x = 0 in above equation.

y=-6(0)+6

y=6

The coordinate is (0,6)

Now substitute y=0 in the above equation.

0=-6x+6

-6=-6x

x=1

The coordinate is (1,0)

Now use the coordinates (0,6) and (1,0) in order to draw the graph.

The graph of y= -6x + 6 is shown in figure 1.

Similarly, consider the second equation y= 3x - 3

Substitute x = 0 in above equation.

y=3(0)-3

y=-3

The coordinate is (0,-3)

Now substitute y=0 in the above equation.

0=3x-3

3=3x

x=1

The coordinate is (1,0)

The graph of y= 3x - 3 is shown in figure 2.

Now draw the graph of both equation as shown in figure 3.

By observing the graph it can be concluded that the system has one solution at (1,0)

Hence, the system has one solution at (1,0).

Answer 2

one solution: (x, y) = (1, 0)

Explanation:

See below for a graph with the one solution identified.
