The lines for the two equations on the left are parallel and separated by a vertical distance of 2 when graphed in the xy-plane. Which of the following could be the value of b?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 6

Answer explanation

Parallel lines share the same slope but have a different y-intercept.

Since the separation of the two lines is 2, the constant term for the first equation must be 12 or 16.

Use these properties to solve for a and then b.

What is the solution to the following system of equations?

• (-1,-1)

• (1,1)

• (1,-1)

• (-1,1)
