1. **State the problem:** We are given the system of linear equations:
$$2y = x + 10$$
$$3y = 3x + 15$$
We need to determine which statements about this system are true.
2. **Rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$:**
For the first equation:
$$2y = x + 10$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$y = \frac{\cancel{2}y}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{x + 10}{2} = \frac{x}{2} + 5$$
For the second equation:
$$3y = 3x + 15$$
Divide both sides by 3:
$$y = \frac{\cancel{3}y}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{3x + 15}{3} = x + 5$$
3. **Identify slopes and y-intercepts:**
- First line: slope $m_1 = \frac{1}{2}$, y-intercept $b_1 = 5$
- Second line: slope $m_2 = 1$, y-intercept $b_2 = 5$
4. **Analyze the statements:**
- "The system has one solution." Since slopes are different ($\frac{1}{2} \neq 1$), lines intersect at exactly one point. **True**.
- "The system graphs parallel lines." Parallel lines have equal slopes. Here, slopes differ. **False**.
- "Both lines have the same slope." Slopes are $\frac{1}{2}$ and $1$. **False**.
- "Both lines have the same y-intercept." Both have $b=5$. **True**.
- "The equations graph the same line." For same line, slopes and intercepts must be equal. Slopes differ. **False**.
- "The solution is the intersection of the 2 lines." By definition, solution to system is intersection point. **True**.
5. **Final answers:**
- The system has one solution. ✔
- Both lines have the same y-intercept. ✔
- The solution is the intersection of the 2 lines. ✔
