Answer:
Option (1)
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations has been given as
2x + 6y = 14
By dividing this equation by 2
x + 3y = 7 --------(1)
Second equation is,
-2x + 2y = -10
-x + y = -5 -------(2)
By adding equation (1) and equation (2)
(x + 3y) + (-x + y) = 7 - 5
2x = 2
x = 1
By putting x = 1 in the equation (1)
1 + 3y = 7
3y = 6
y = 2
So, we get exactly one solution pair (1, 2) where these lines are intersecting.
Therefore, the best category that defines the system of equations is Consistent/Independent
Option (1) will be the answer.
