Question

Classify the system of equations. -1/3x+y+2=0, 2x+y+5=0 (Would it be parallel, coincident, or intersecting?) @bibby @StudyGurl14 @Abbot @dan815

Answer 1

@geekfromthefutur

Answer 2

Do you have a guess what it might be?

Answer 3

Coincident maybe,, but I honestly I don't know how to do this

Answer 4

get them into point intercept form -1/3x+y+2=0, 2x+y+5=0
\(y=\frac{1}{3}x-2\)
\(y=-2x-5\)
they're definitely not parallel

Answer 5

I agree with @bibby its not parallel and its not intersecting because there isn't two lines. I know that because there isnt two equations as well so wat does that nail it down to?

Answer 6

there are 2 lines. they aren't coincidental because they aren't the same lines

Answer 7

at least according to what google says coincidental lines are

Answer 8

@Blu-Girl

Answer 9

hmm clicked coincidental wasn't it, but I don't blame y'all cuz I guessed the same thing

Answer 10

it was intersecting

Answer 11

I didn't guess rofl

Answer 12

oh lol

Answer 13

a) they have different slopes
b) they have different equations
c) they're not parallel

Answer 14

oohh

Answer 15

This might help

Answer 16

thats the problem on a graph

Answer 17

I'll look at it

Answer 18

so put the 2 thoughts together
parallel, coincident, or intersecting
a) they have different slopes, they aren't parallel
b) they have different equations, they aren't coincident
c) they're not parallel, 2 lines with different slopes will eventually intersect

Answer 19

Thks

Answer 20

I think its consident

Answer 21

We've come to the conclusion it wasn't.

it's intersecting.

Answer 22

yea.... I know bibby...

Answer 23

Answer 24

o ok

Answer 25
