The solution to a system of two linear equations is x = 3 weeks; y = 9 feet
Match the description with the correct statement.
The still to this system could possibly have which meaning?
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)
H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9)
The correct statement that matches the description "The still to this system could possibly have which meaning?" is H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9).
To understand why, let's break down each option:
A: making the lines parallel to each other - This is not applicable because the given information does not indicate that the lines in the system are parallel.
B: from the origin, find the y-intercepts and subtract them - This is not relevant for the given information as it does not involve finding y-intercepts.
C: no way to have them linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points - This is not relevant for the given information as it states that there is a solution to the system of equations.
D: curving the lines around so that they cross multiple times - This is not relevant for the given information as it implies multiple intersections between the lines.
E: the point where the lines cross the y-axis after 3 weeks - This is not relevant for the given information as it does not specify the y-axis crossing point.
F: the point where the 9-foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks - This is not relevant for the given information as it does not mention plant growth.
G: the point showing after 3 weeks, the plant was 9 feet tall - This is not correct because the solution does not represent the point after 3 weeks. It represents the values of x and y that satisfy the system of equations.
H: find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9) - This is the correct answer because it corresponds to the given solution x = 3 weeks; y = 9 feet. It represents the point where the two lines intersect.
