1. **State the problem:** We are given a system of linear equations represented by two lines on a graph. We need to determine the truth of statements about the lines: whether they are parallel, intersecting, and the number of solutions.
2. **Recall key concepts:**
- Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
- If lines intersect at exactly one point, the system has one unique solution.
- If lines do not intersect (are parallel and distinct), the system has no solution.
3. **Analyze the graph description:**
- One line passes from bottom-left to top-right, indicating a positive slope.
- The other line passes from top-left to bottom-right, indicating a negative slope.
- The lines intersect approximately near the point $(2, 2)$.
4. **Interpret the statements:**
**a. The lines are not parallel, so the system has one solution.**
- Since the slopes are different (one positive, one negative), the lines are not parallel.
- Therefore, they intersect at exactly one point.
- This statement is **True**.
**b. The lines do not intersect, so the system has no solution.**
- The graph shows the lines intersecting near $(2, 2)$.
- Therefore, this statement is **False**.
**c. There is exactly one solution to the system of equations.**
- Since the lines intersect at one point, the system has exactly one solution.
- This statement is **True**.
**d. The slopes of the lines are different.**
- One line has a positive slope, the other a negative slope.
- Therefore, the slopes are different.
- This statement is **True**.
**Final answers:**
- a: True
- b: False
- c: True
- d: True
