Create a system of linear equations that has one solution. Solve the system using substitution to prove your
that your system has only one solution.

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = -2x + 3

y = -1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

  • So the best way to solve is to come up with two slopes, I'd prefer 2 perpendicular slopes because perpendicular lines only cross once hence one solution guaranteed
  • so say we choose a slopeA = 2 and slopeB = -1/2, the slopes are perpendicular only if when you multiply them you get -1
  • then we use the slope intercept form of an equation y = mx + b
  • we make up two equations y = -2x + b and y = -1/2x + b , now we can just make up number for b so the two equations are
  • y = -2x + 3
  • y = -1/2x + 5
  • Then we solve them by substituting for y so
  • -1/2x + 5 = -2x + 3 and x = -4/3
  • and then we put this to get y in either equation
  • y = -2(-4/3) + 3
  • y = 17/3
  • So the equations work

The only solution to the system of equation is (4, 11)

Let the given linear equation be given as shown:

y = 2x  + 3 and y = 4x - 5

Equate both expressions since they are both "y" values

2x + 3 = 4x  - 5

Collect the like terms

2x - 4x = -5- 3

-2x = -8

x = 8/2

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into any of the equation

y = 2x + 3

y = 2(4) + 3

y = 11

This shows that the only solution to the system of equation is (4, 11)
