- A1
- B2
- C3
- D0
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Given lines
We need the abscissa (the -coordinate) of their point of intersection to be an integer.
-
Find the intersection point
Substitute into :
Hence,
-
Condition for to be an integer
Since is an integer, is also an integer. For
to be an integer, must be an integer divisor of .
The divisors of are:
So we solve:
-
Check each case
-
If , Not an integer.
-
If , Integer.
-
If , Not an integer.
-
If , Integer.
-
-
Count integral values of
The integral values are:
So the number of integral values is:
-
Option check
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct option is B.
