The graph of a system of two linear equations has no solution. What is true about the lines?

OpenStudy (shamim):

two lines r parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are parallel. 2 lines in 2 dimensions must either intersect or are parallel. If they intersect there is 1 unique solution. If they are parallel, there is either infinitely many solutions (they are the same line) or 0 solutions (they are different parallel lines)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but then it also asked. Which number of solutions is not possible for a system of two linear equations? A.2 B.1 C.0 D.infinite

OpenStudy (shamim):

two line can intersect only one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or infinitely many or 0. only impossible number of solutions in euclidean geometry is 2 (out of those choices).

OpenStudy (shamim):

bt if two lines r parallel to each othet then no solution occurs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is B? if so, explain method

OpenStudy (shamim):

2 solution is impossible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer would be A) 2. You can have two lines that are parallel or intersect once. Lines will never intersect twice |dw:1402632107122:dw|

could you help me with Solve the system by substitution. y = 2x 3x + 2y = 21 A.x = 3, y = 6 B.x = 6, y = 3 C.x = 3, y = –6 D.x = –6, y = 3
