Answer :
Answer:
there is only 1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = 5x - 1 --------(1)
y = -3x + 7-------(2)
Observation 1:
Both are linear equations (i.e straight lines)
Observation 2:
We can see that both lines have different slopes.
for (1), slope, m = 5
for (2), slope, m = -3
this means that both the straight lines will intersect each other at only 1 point.
Hence we can conclude that there is only 1 solution
Answer:
Only one solution: (1,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5x - 1
y = -3x + 7
5x - 1 = -3x + 7
8x = 8
x = 1
y = 5(1) - 1
y = 4
Only one solution: (1,4)
