The correct Answer is:
To solve the system of equations given by: 1. \( 3y + 6 = 2x \) 2. \( 2y - 3x = 6 \) we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) **For the first equation:** Starting with: \[ 3y + 6 = 2x \] Subtract 6 from both sides: \[ 3y = 2x - 6 \] Now, divide by 3: \[ y = \frac{2}{3}x - 2 \] So, the slope \( m_1 = \frac{2}{3} \). **For the second equation:** Starting with: \[ 2y - 3x = 6 \] Add \( 3x \) to both sides: \[ 2y = 3x + 6 \] Now, divide by 2: \[ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3 \] So, the slope \( m_2 = \frac{3}{2} \). ### Step 2: Determine if the lines are perpendicular For two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes must equal -1: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = 1 \] Since \( 1 \neq -1 \), the lines are not perpendicular. ### Step 3: Check if the lines intersect To determine if the lines intersect, we can use the condition for intersection: If the ratios of the coefficients of \( x \) and \( y \) are not equal, then the lines intersect at one point. Rearranging the equations into standard form: 1. From \( 3y - 2x + 6 = 0 \): - Coefficients are \( a_1 = -2, b_1 = 3, c_1 = 6 \) 2. From \( 3x - 2y + 6 = 0 \): - Coefficients are \( a_2 = 3, b_2 = -2, c_2 = 6 \) Now, we check the ratios: - \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{-2}{3} \) - \( \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{3}{-2} \) Since \( \frac{-2}{3} \neq \frac{3}{-2} \), the lines are not parallel and thus they intersect at one point. ### Conclusion The system of equations has one solution, and since the lines are not perpendicular, the correct description is: **Option C: one solution with graphs not intersecting at right angles in the xy-plane.** ---
