ow many solutions does a system of two linear equations have if the slope of each equation is the same, but the y-intercepts are different?




infinitely many


none


one


none of the above

Answer 2

If two equations have the same slope, that means they are parallel.

And do parallel lines ever intersect each other?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

infinately

Answer 5

Yea. So how many solutions would there be?

Answer 6

It's not infinite. That only works if they're the same line but they're not. They have different y-intercept.
They are parallel lines

Answer 7

The slopes are the same, so either they are the same line or they are parallel lines. They have difference y intercepts so they are not the same line. Since they are parallel lines there are no solutions because parallel lines don't intersect.

Answer 8

none is the answer
