100
Solve the following system of equations by graphing. Identify the number of solutions; One, (write answer as an ordered pair) None, or Infinite and why? y=3x-4 y=3x-4
Answer: No Solution because the slopes are the same. Therefore, the lines are parallel.

300
Solve each system of linear equations by graphing. Identify the number of solutions: One (write as an ordered pair), None, or Infinite. y=-1/2x+3 y=-1/2x+3
Answer: Infinite solutions because the slopes and y intercepts are the same. (The equations are the same.)
300
Convert to slope intercept form: 4x+2y=2
Answer: y=-2x+1
300
If the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, how many solutions are there? Why?
Answer: No solution because they don't intersect (they are parallel)
