hero · Answer

1. Parallel
2. Infinite

anonymous · Answer

why ?

akshay_budhkar · Answer

1.Coincident
2.infinite

hero · Answer

Yeah, that's probably more accurate

akshay_budhkar · Answer

its the same line..
so its coincident

anonymous · Answer

why would they be coincident and infinite ?

akshay_budhkar · Answer

infintie because the number of points of intersection are infinte
and thats what determines the no of solutions

anonymous · Answer

ok but why coincident ?

akshay_budhkar · Answer

because they coincide with each other:)

anonymous · Answer

how many solutions are there ?
