State whether the system of equations has one solution, no solutions, or infinite solutions a. y = x -3 -x + 3y = -9
if you would draw a line for each of these functions, how many times do you think they would cross each other?
I have absolutely no cue. Sorry.
clue*
@agent0smith he can explain this! with his smarticles:)
Two straight lines will always cross once, unless they are parallel, than they will cross never.
so all you have to do, is to see if they are parallel or not, if they are not, than they will cross, once.
You can either draw a graph, or try to solve the system to decide y = x -3 -x + 3y = -9 use substitution since you know y is equal to x-3, so replace the y in the second equation: -x + 3(x-3) = -9 see if you can solve that for x
See i know smarticles when i see it:)
