Question 1142383
<br>
The equations are equivalent to y = -3/x and y = -9/x.<br>
Statement A: To see if there are any points of intersection, see what happens when you try to solve the pair of equations simultaneously.
{{{-3/x = -9/x}}}  -->  ???<br>
Statement B: If this is true, then x negative makes y positive (quadrant 2) and x positive makes y negative (quadrant 4).  Do these equations have that property?<br>
Statement C: To see if this is true, choose a simple value for x (1 is nearly always a good choice) and see what the resulting y values are.
