Two lines, a and b, are represented by equations given below:

line a: y = x − 2
line b: y = 3x + 4

which of the following shows the solution to the system of equations and explains why?
(−3, −5), because the point does not lie on any axis
(−3, −5), because the point satisfies both equations
(−4, −8), because the point satisfies one of the equations
(−4, −8), because the point lies between the two axes

step-by-step explanation:

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
