Asystem of equations is shown below. which of the following statements describes the graph of this system of equations in the (x, y) coordinate plane?

3y − 5x = 15
6y − 10x = 30

select one:
a. two parallel lines with positive slope
b. two parallel lines with negative slope
c. a single line with positive slope
d. a single line with negative slope

The given system of equations represent a single line with positive slope. So option C is correct.

SOLUTION:

Given system of equations are

Now, if we observe, multiplying the equation with 2 results in equation.

which means the two line equations represents the same line.

Now, let us find the slope of line,

So, the line has a positive slope.

the answer would be 0.54
