Question

What is the solution to the system of equations shown below?y = 1/2x + 1 y = 1/2x - 1A. (1, 3/2) B. (-2,0)C. There is no solution D. There are infinite solutions

Answer 1

We have the following:

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+1 \\ y=(1)/(2)x-1 \end{gathered}`

we equalize the equations and we have:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)x+1=(1)/(2)x-1 \\ (1)/(2)x-(1)/(2)x=-1-1 \\ 0=-2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is C. there is no solution
