A system of linear equations is shown.

y = –2x + 3 y = 3 – 2x

Which statement about the solution to the system of linear equations is true?

• A. The system has one solution because the two equations have different slopes.

• B. The system has no solutions because the two equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept.

• C. The system has no solutions because the two equations have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

• D. The system has infinitely many solutions because the two equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept.

Mrs. Smith wrote the system of linear equations shown.

y = 3x + 4

y = 3x + 7

Which of Mrs. Smith’s students correctly explained the number of solutions for the system of linear equations?

• A. Abby said the system has no solutions because the equations have different slopes.

• B. Bowen said the system has exactly one solution because both equations contain 3x.

• C. Cole said the system has no solutions because the equations have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

• D. Deborah said the system has infinitely many solutions because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept.

The graph of a system of linear equations is shown. Which change to line g results in a system of equations with no solution?

• changing the y-intercept of line g to the same y-intercept as line h without changing the slope

• changing the slope of line g to be the same as the slope of line h without changing the y-intercept
