write the coefficient for the matrix for the system use it to determine if the system has a unique solution -5x+7y= -9 5x-7y=-5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If we have -5x+7y, then the coefficients are the numbers in front of the variables. So the coefficients are -5 and 7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

For 5x-7y=-5 the coefficients are 5 and -7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Use these coefficients to make a 2x2 matrix

No inverse exist so no unique solution right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you are correct, the determinant is 0, which means that there are either no solutions or infinitely many solutions

thanks :)
