The solution to a system of two linear equations is x = 3 weeks; y = 9 feet
Match the description with the correct statement
how could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?
A: making the lines parallel to each other
B: from the origin, find the y-intercepts and subtract them
C: no way to have them linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points
D: curving the lines around so that they cross multiple times
E: the point where the lines cross the y-axis after 3 weeks
F: the point where the 9 foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks
G: the point showing after 3 weeks, the plant was 9 feet tall
H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9)
H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9)
The correct statement that matches the description "how could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?" is:
H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9)
H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9)
To get exactly two or three solutions to a linear system, we need the lines representing the equations to intersect at multiple points. In this case, we have found the point of intersection to be (3,9), which represents the solution to the system of equations. Therefore, the correct statement matching the description is H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9).
