Which statements are true about the system that models this scenario?

The equations are equivalent so there are an infinite number of solutions.

Both lines will have a y-intercept of (0,0) since both hikers start at 8:00 a. m.

As shown on the graph, both lines have a slope of 1/20 because one must convert to the same units of time.
