Matt and brian were solving a system of equations. they both noticed that the two lines had the same slope. brian said that because each line in the system had the same slope, the two lines had to be parallel, which meant the solution to the system was "no solution" matt disagreed, and said they should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. who is correct?

Two different linear functions are shown below with two points given from each function. use slope-intercept form or point-slope form to find the equation of each. linear function a points: (–5, –2), (–5, 7) linear function b points: (7, –5), (–2, –5) function a has: the equation of line a is: function b has: the equation of line b is:
