Consider the system of equations shown here. y is equal to negative 5 x plus 1 y is equal to negative 5 x plus 10 When graphed, the system consists of two lines that will never meet, no matter how far they are extended. Why are the lines parallel?
Answer
A
The linear equations have the same slope and y -intercept.
B
The linear equations have different slopes and y -intercepts.
C
The linear equations have different slopes but the same y -intercept.
D
The linear equations have the same slope but different y -intercepts.
