At a farmers' market. Karen and Alice each bought some bread that cost $2 per loaf. Then Karen spent $3 to purchase other items, while Alice spent $1. Could the girls have bought the same number of loaves of bread and spent the same total amount? 1. Let x represent the number of loaves of bread. Fill in the boxes to write a system of equations for the total amounts spent.

Karen: y = x +
Alice: y = x +

2. What are the slopes of the lines represented by the equations?

3. What are the y-intercepts of the lines represented by the equations?

4. Do the lines intersect?

5. How many solutions are there to this system of equations?
