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

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Define parallel. If the two lines are the same, are they technically parallel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

The graph of a system of parallel lines will have no solutions. Always (If parallel lines cannot be the same) Sometimes (If parallel lines can be the same)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so itd the answer is sometimes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind i got it , it would be always.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Graph 2x+4y = 8 and x + 2y = 4 They both have same slope, therefore they are parallel, but you also can see that they both are SAME line, so they have infinite solutions.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Okay, then to equivalent lines are not considered two lines according to this problem statement and solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two lines that are parallel to each other can be same sometime so the answer is sometime.
