Consider two lines that form a linear system. Line 1: slope = 3 and x-intercept of (3,0) Line 2: slope = 3 and x-intercept of (3,0) Part 1: What type of lines would this be? Part 2: How many solutions does this system have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are coincide so infinite solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are the exact same line, so every point on the one line is also a point on the other line. Therefore, there are infinite solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are the same line because these two lines of type Line 1: slope = 3 and x-intercept of (3,0) Line 2: slope = 3 and x-intercept of (3,0) are identical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many solutions do they have ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinite solutions. Every possible point is a solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many points are on a line? infinitely many

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Normally, a solution to a linear system is where the two lines cross. Since these lines lie on top of one another, every point is a match.
