Question

How many solutions does this system of equations have?

y = 5x – 4
y = 5x + 2

(Points : 1)
infinitely many
0
1
2

Answer 1

None.

Answer 2

If you notice the lines, you'd see that there slopes are equal. That is, if you take it in this form: y = mx + c [m = slope = 5 for both the equations/lines]

So when we have liens with equal inclinations/slope, they are always parallel to each other.



That means, they never intersect. :)

Answer 3

y can't have 2 different solutions...

Answer 4

Ok thank you.

Answer 5

If they had different slopes then they would have solution(s).
