Question

Lines a and b are represented by the equations given below:

line a: 6x 6y = 24


line b: x y = 4

which statement is true about the solution to the set of equations? (1 point)


it is (24, 4).

there are infinitely many solutions.

it is (4, 24).

there is no solution.

Answer 1

Line b is obtained by dividing line a by 6. Hence, the two lines are linearly dependent (coincide). Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.
