SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE MEDAL: Part 1: Provide a system of TWO equations in slope-intercept form, with only one solution. Using complete sentences, explain why this system has one solution. Part 2: Provide a system of TWO equations in slope-intercept form with no solutions. Using complete sentences, explain why this system has no solutions. Part 3: Provide a system of TWO equations in slope-intercept form with infinitely many solutions. Using complete sentences, explain why this system has infinitely many solutions.

part 1|dw:1373382787144:dw| take any intersecting lines it will have unique solution

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

part 2 |dw:1373382856886:dw|

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

clear till now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk... all this is like really new to me... @harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

do you know slope intercept form of line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of line? i know slope intercept form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i do.. i just started a new semester and i havent done algebra in awhile @harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

what ever you know about it tell me then..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= mx +b that is slope intercept form right? @harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

yes!! so m here is slope so for first part you need a lines with different slopes so you can choose m = 5 for 1st and m = 4 for 2nd and b can be anything clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not really.. can you explain it just a little better? @harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

two lines will intersect if their slopes are different clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea got that @harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

ok so all you need is the value of m to be different for 2 lines you are giving as example clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess @harsimran_hs4

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

take time and convince yourself about this
