Can someone help me pleaseeeeee?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

y=mx +b is the equation a straight line with m as the slope and b and the y-intercept two equation with the same slope and different y-intercept wil be parallel

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the solutions of a system is the region that satisfies both conditions at the same time, are there points that are on both lines at once?

OpenStudy (loser66):

@lalabella if you stuck at somewhere or don't understand, you should speak out, please!!!

OpenStudy (radar):

In this system, just try and solve it and see what happens x+3=x-1 0x = -4 x=-4/0 undefined What does that tell you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand and ive been working on this thing for a long time ( not this problem but the work)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so does that mean that its infinite?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

how many points are on both of the lines at the same time; (how many times do the lines intersect)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Once

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

where? what point (?,?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it not pass through once on all 3?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what is all 3?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

parallel lines do not intersect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhhh now i get it! sorry

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if the system was y=x, y=2x-1, the intersection would look like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it. I see what you're saying

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
