The graph of a system of parallel lines will have no solutions. Always Sometimes Never

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Always

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sometimes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x+y=1 2x+2y=2 have all solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u show me how would u solve it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

multiply the top by -2, combine them and get: 0=0 when does 0=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think this is called trivial solution, it exist, but not used

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol, its used ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

granted that they are the "same" line; but its still a system of parallel lines that has at least one solution

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Always The example given by amistre64 is an example of coincident lines. Line that lie on-top one-another are called coincident line, not called parallel, they intersect at every point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, the question is about parallel, the never intersect

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i wonder if the person who wrote the question that this came from knows that :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx 4 the medal, but i really like to know the right answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we are to define parallel as wholly different from coincident; then the answer is never otherwise my concept would be correct .... i would defer to the person who wrote the material from which the question was obtained :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so they will "never have a solution" OR The graph of a system of parallel lines will have no solutions. "Always"
