Is it possible for a system of linear equations to have exactly two solutions? Explain your reasoning.
No, two lines cannot intersect in exactly two points.
Solve the system of linear equations by substitution:
y - x = 0
2x - 5y = 9
(-3,-3)
Solve the system of linear equations by elimination:
x + 4y = 1
3x + 5y = 10
(5,-1)
Describe and correct the error in solving the system of linear equations.
y = -2x + 4
y = -2x + 6
The lines have the same slope so there are infinitely many solutions.
The lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts so therefore they are never going to intersect = No Solution.
When solving a system of linear equations algebraically, how do you know when the system has no solution?
When solving a system of linear equations algebraically, how do you know when the system has infinitely many solutions?
When solving a system of linear equations algebraically, you know the system has no solution when you reach an invalid statement such as -3 = 2.
Infinitely many solutions has a valid statement such as 1 = 1.
