If there is no solution to a graph of a system of equations, then the lines must be __________.

Coinciding

Parallel

Intersecting

Not enough information

Question

If there is no solution to a graph of a system of equations, then the lines must be __________. 

 Coinciding 

 Parallel 

 Intersecting 

 Not enough information

anonymous · Answer

No solution means they never intersect.

anonymous · Answer

" then the lines must be..." implies that the system is one of linear equations.
I think the answer is pretty clear.

Ans : Coinciding

goformit100 · Answer

If there is no solution to a graph of a system of equations, then the lines must be  Coinciding

anonymous · Answer

That doesn't make any sense.

goformit100 · Answer

it's true

phi · Answer

coinciding means the two lines lay on top of each other i.e. they are the same line.  That gives a infinite number of solutions (points of intersection)

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is not enough information correct ?

phi · Answer

if this is a course on linear equations,  I would pick the answer that means lines never intersect.

goformit100 · Answer

ok

goformit100 · Answer

@rebecca1233  @phi  is correct

anonymous · Answer

Imagine two straight lines drawn on one graph. What would they have to look like to make sure that they never intersect? (an intersection would be a solution)
