Solving One-Variable Equations with Systems — Unit test

Question 1 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

Vicky is solving an equation where both sides are linear expressions. She sets each linear expression equal to y and graphs the resulting system. If the y-intercepts of the graphs are the same but the slopes are different, what is the greatest possible number of intersections for these graphs?

Answer
A
none
B
one
C
two
D
infinitely many

Explanation

The graphs are lines with the same y-intercept, so they both pass through the same point on the y-axis. Because their slopes are different, they are not the same line and meet at only that one point. Therefore, the greatest possible number of intersections is one, choice B.
