Solution Steps
To solve the system of equations using the graphing method, we need to:
Convert each equation to the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \).
Plot both lines on a graph.
Identify the point of intersection, which will be the solution to the system.
Step 1: Rewrite the Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
First, we need to rewrite each equation in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \).
For the first equation:
\[
5x - y = 10
\]
Solve for \( y \):
\[
y = 5x - 10
\]
For the second equation:
\[
-15x + 3y = -30
\]
Divide the entire equation by 3 to simplify:
\[
-5x + y = -10
\]
Solve for \( y \):
\[
y = 5x - 10
\]
Step 2: Analyze the Equations
We now have the following two equations in slope-intercept form:
\[
y = 5x - 10
\]
\[
y = 5x - 10
\]
Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Lines
Since both equations are identical, they represent the same line. This means that every point on the line \( y = 5x - 10 \) is a solution to the system.
Final Answer
Since the two lines are identical, there are infinitely many solutions. The solution can be represented as:
\[
(x, 5x - 10)
\]
