Page 257 Exercise 1 Answer
Given: Draw three pairs of lines, each showing a different way that two lines can intersect or not intersect.
How are these pairs of lines related?
There are n ways 2 lines can relate to each other.
The first way is that they are parallel, meaning they do not have any intersections.
The second way is if they are not parallel, but are not the same line. in this case, they have exactly 1 intersection.
The third and last way is, if the lines are the same, in this case, all of their points are the same.
That means they intersect at infinitely many points.
2 lines cannot have 2 points in common because 2 points clearly define a line.
That means if there is a line passing through both points, there cannot be another that does the same.
2 lines cannot have 2 points in common because 2 points clearly define a line.
If they have more than 1 point in common, it means they are the same line and have infinitely many common points.

To find: What does the point of intersection of the lines represent in the situation?
Point of intersection means the point at which two lines intersect.
The coordinates of the point of intersection represent the solution to both linear equations simultaneously.
The coordinates of the point of intersection represent the values of x and y that satisfy both equations at the same time.

In order to graph y = −4x + 3, calculate two points on the line.
Calculate the value of y for x = 0:

Substitute x = 0
y = −4 × 0 + 3
Calculate the product
y = 0 + 3
Remove 0

Calculate the value of y for x = 1:
y = −4x + 3,x = 1
Substitute x = 1
y = −4 × 1 + 3
Calculate the product

Divide both sides
y = \(-2+\frac{2}{3} x\)
Reorder the terms
y = \(\frac{2}{3} x-2\)
Write the second equation in slope-intercept form:
4x – 6y = 12
Move the variable to the right
-6y = 12 – 4x
Change the signs
6y = -12 + 4x
Divide both sides
y = \(-2+\frac{2}{3} x\)
Reorder the terms
y = \(\frac{2}{3} x-2\)
Equations of both lines are equal, so lines are the same.
Calculate the value of y for x = -9

Divide both sides
y = 3x + 2
Using the same method, graph the line y = 3x + 2.
Lines y = 3x − 1 and y = 3x + 2 are parallel.
Since the lines are parallel, there is no point of intersection.
Therefore, the system has no solution.
The lines y = 3x − 1 and y = 3x + 2 are parallel, so the system has no solution.

Page 268 Exercise 14 Answer
Given: Higher Order Thinking The total cost, c, of making n copies can be represented by a system of equations.
To find: How many copies you need to make for the total cost to be the same at both stores.
The first shop offers an unlimited number of items n for $5.The equation representing the price c in the first shop is given by:
c = 5
The second shop charges 20ϕ = $0.2 per item and additional $2 for the service.
The equation representing the price c in the second shop is given by:
c = 0.2n + 2
Since the price of the service in the first shop is $5 regardless of the number of items, find the number of items the second shop offers for $5
\(\left\{\begin{array}{l}
c=5 \\
c=0.2 n+2
\end{array}\right.\)
Find the number of items the second shop offers for $5 by solving the system.
\(\left\{\begin{array}{l}
c=5 \\
c=0.2 n+2
\end{array}\right.\)
Set the sides equal 5 = 0.2n + 2
Solve the equation n = 15
A possible solution is (c,n) = (5,15)
Check the solution
\(\left\{\begin{array}{l}
5=5 \\
5=0.2 \times 15+2
\end{array}\right.\)
Simplify
\(\left\{\begin{array}{l}5=5 \\
5=5
\end{array}\right.\)
The ordered pair is a solution.
(c,n) = (5,15)
It follows that the second shop offers 15 items for $5.
For the total price to be the same in both shops, the number of items purchased in the second shop must be 15.
Given: Higher Order Thinking The total cost, c, of making n copies can be represented by a system of equations.
To explain, If you have to make a small number of copies, which store should you go to.
The cost in store W is $5 for any number of copies.
The cost in store z is given by the equation:
C = 2 + 0.2n
Where C is the cost and n is the number of copies.
C = 2 + 0.2n
The store z is preferred as far as the number of copies costs less than $5. express this using the inequality:
2 + 0.2n < 5
Solve the inequality for n:
2 + 0.2n < 5
Move the constant to the right
0.2n < 5 − 2
Calculate
0.2n < 3
Divide both sides of the inequality by 0.2
n < 15
Store z is preferred for a small number of copies less than 15.
Store z is preferred for a small number of copies less than 15.
