Answer

Fill the blanks with ... infinitely many ... ... $1-t$ ... .. 0 ... 4 ... $-4$

Work Step by Step

Solving for y, each equation is equivalent to $y=1-x$. Since both equations have the same graph, there will be infinitely many solutions ( the system is dependent ). Taking x as a parameter, x=t these solutions can be expressed by writing $x=t$ $y=1-t$ If t=1, y=0 If t=-3, y=$1-(-3)=4$ If t=5, y=$1-5=-4$ Fill the blanks with ... infinitely many ... ... $1-t$ ... .. 0 ... 4 ... $-4$
