Consider two lines that form a linear system.
Line 1: slope = 3 and x-intercept of (3,0)
Line 2: slope = 3 and x-intercept of (3,0)

Part 1: What type of lines would this be?
Part 2: How many solutions does this system have

Part 1: This does not appear to be the right question.  Maybe, what type of SYSTEM would this be?  If there is a solution, it is "consistent".  Is there a solution?

anonymous · Answer

Remember two parallel lines have same slope..

anonymous · Answer

As in both the cases, Slope = 3, therefore, the two given lines are parallel lines..

anonymous · Answer

Actually, they can be overlapping lines too.. :)

Thank you for retyping the incorrect selection.  it should say "SYSTEM".

What type of lines are they?  Straight ones?  What other type of line is there?

What is their relationship, maybe "parallel", but "coincident" would be a better description.  "Overlapping" is not a good description.  This suggests there might be pieces that do not overlap.  "Coincident" means they overlap 100%.
