Tom determines that the system of equations below has two solutions, one of which is located at the vertex of the parabola. Equation 1: (x – 3)2 = y – 4 Equation 2: y = -x + bIn order for Tom’s thinking to be correct, which qualifications must be met?
Answer
A
b must equal 7 and a second solution to the system must be located at the point (2, 5).
B
b must equal 1 and a second solution to the system must be located at the point (4, 5).
C
b must equal 7 and a second solution to the system must be located at the point (1, 8).
D
b must equal 1 and a second solution to the system must be located at the point (3, 4).
