A little help please? Two lines form a linear system. The slope of one line is 4 and it has a y-intercept of (0, -3). The slope of the other line is 4 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8). How many solutions does this system have? 0 1 2 infinitely many

OpenStudy (anonymous):

line one = y = 4x - 3 Line two = y = 4x + 8 The lines are parallel and they have different y intercepts so they are not on top of each other so that means it will not have infinitely many. Since they are parallel and not on top of each other, they will not have any solutions so 0

Wow! Thanks a lot! @MDoodler

Here is a graph to prove it http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+4x+-+3+and++y+%3D+4x+%2B+8

They run side by side and never connect.
