Value of x is going up by 5 and the slope should be 10/5 or 2 not 10/1. Inserting the points, the final equation will be solved.  Y is not equal to 9+10x in the chart

To have a point it must try to solve both equations. So (1,2) only solves the first one and not the second one

 20)shading is correct
  should be dotted line and not solid .
 #21 the solid line is correct, but the shading should be below the line, not above it.

Graphing y=a|x-h|+k


y = a|x - h| + k
Although most books won't call the point (h,k) the vertex (as in quadratics) but it will either be a maximum or minimum value for the absolute value function.
If a > 0 , then (h,k) is the lowest point of the graph.  (opens upward)
If a < 0 , then (h,k) is the highest point of the graph.  (opens downward)

Types of Systems


Case 1
Case
Case 3
graph of intersecting lines
graph of parallel lines

Independent system:
one solution point
Case 2
Case 3

graph with one apparent line


Independent system:
one solution and
one intersection point
Inconsistent system:
no solution and
no intersection point
Case 3

Independent  and consistent system:
one solution and
one intersection point
Inconsistent system:
no solution and
no intersection point
Dependent system:
