The graph is shown for the equation y = –x + 4.

Which equation, when graphed with the given equation, will form a system that has an infinite number of solutions?

A. y = -4(x+1)
B. y = -(x+4)
C. y = -1/2(2x-8)
D. y = x + -4

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C. [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}(2x-8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a system of two linear equations has an infinite number of solutions, then both equations must be identical

The given equation is

[tex]y=-x+4[/tex]

Verify each case

Option A. we have

[tex]y=-4(x+1)[/tex]

apply distributive property

[tex]y=-4x-4[/tex]

Compare with the given equation

[tex]-x+4 \neq -4x-4[/tex]

Option B. we have

[tex]y=-(x+4)[/tex]

remove the parenthesis

[tex]y=-x-4[/tex]

Compare with the given equation

[tex]-x+4 \neq -x-4[/tex]

Option C. we have

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}(2x-8)[/tex]

apply distributive property

[tex]y=-x+4[/tex]

Compare with the given equation

[tex]-x+4=-x+4[/tex]

therefore

This equation with the given equation form a system that has an infinite number of solutions

Option D. we have

[tex]y=x+4[/tex]

Compare with the given equation

[tex]-x+4 \neq x+4[/tex]

Answer:

C. y=-1/2(2x-8)
