Answer:

The correct answers are:

  • The system has one solution.
  • The lines intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given system of linear equations as:

y=x-4--------(1)

and 3 y-x= -7----------(2)

on substituting the value of 'y' from equation (1) into equation (2) we have:

3(x-4)-x=-7

⇒ 3x-3×4-x=-7

⇒ 3x-x= -7+12

⇒  2x=5

⇒ [tex]x=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]

also putting the value of x into equation (1) we have:

[tex]y=\dfrac{5}{2}-4=\dfrac{5-8}{2}=\dfrac{-3}{2}[/tex]

  • Hence, we get a unique value of x and y on solving the system of  linear equations.

             Hence, the system has one solution.

  • the slope for line y=x-4 is 1  ( since on comparing the equation with y=mx+c; where m denotes the slope of line and c is the y-intercept)

                y-intercept is -4

            but the slope of line 3y-x = -7 i.e.

           [tex]y=\dfrac{x-7}{3}=\dfrac{x}{3}-\dfrac{7}{3}[/tex]

          hence the slope of second line is: [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex].

                  and y-intercept is [tex]\dfrac{-7}{3}[/tex].

  • They represent different lines.
  • the lines intersect at the point [tex](\dfrac{5}{2},\dfrac{-3}{2})[/tex]

Answer and explanation:

Given : Equations [tex]y=x-4[/tex] and [tex]3y-x=-7[/tex]

To find : Which statements about the system are true? Check all that apply.

Solution :

First we solve the system of equations,

[tex]y=x-4[/tex]  .....(1)

[tex]3y-x=-7[/tex]  ......(2)

Substitute y from (1) in (2),

[tex]3(x-4)-x=-7[/tex]

[tex]3x-12-x=-7[/tex]

[tex]2x=5[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in (1),

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2}-4[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{5-8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-3}{2}[/tex]

1) The system has one solution i.e. [tex](\frac{5}{2},-\frac{3}{2})[/tex]

2) The system has solution which means it is not parallel lines.

Writing equation in slope from, [tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

[tex]y=x-4[/tex] where m=1 and c=-4

[tex]3y-x=-7[/tex] where [tex]m=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and c=-4

3) Both lines have different slopes.

4) Both lines have the same y-intercept.

5) The equations represent the different lines.

6) The lines intersect at [tex](\frac{5}{2},-\frac{3}{2})[/tex]
