Question

How many solutions will this system of equations have?

y = 3.5x - 3.5
y = -3.5x + 3.5

No solution
Infinite solutions
One solution
Two solutions

Answer 1

what are the slopes of each equation?

Answer 2

what do u mean

Answer 3

well... have you covered slopes yet?

Answer 4

nope

Answer 5

so.. how are you supposed to know if they have solution or not?

Answer 6

so sorry yes

Answer 7

so... if the slopes of the equations differ, then that means there's a solution

if both equations are equal, once simplified, then there's an infinite solutions

if they slopes are equal only, and not the rest, then there's no solution

Answer 8

thanks man

Answer 9
