y=5x+7 and 3y-15x=18 is what infinely many no solution one or two solutions i think two idk

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

try using this awesome graphing calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

if you take a look at it, and type your equations in, you can see if they have a solution or not. Its so much easier than having to graph them yourself, and I still understand what my teachers are trying to get at after using it.

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

i am

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Here is what the two equations look like graphed. WHat do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

there are two points on hte same line but two different lines

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Well, since the lines do not intersect (meet) anywhere, then there can be no solution to these equations.

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

ok next question

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

ok, but you understand how we got that, right?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

yes

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

ok, great. Do you have any more questions you need help with?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

3x=-12y+15 X+4y=5 there is onlyone line so does that means infinely or one

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

i think infinely since there are no points that means all of the poinys equal that solution

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

when you use that calculator, and there is one line, that means that the equations are technically the same line. So they have many solutions.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

yes, you're right/

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Great job!

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

anymore questions/

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

oops **?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

did you need anymore help @kaylak12345

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

if there are two points on a line does that mean two solutions?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

@k_lynn if there is one point on the same does that mean one solution

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

what do you mean? can you post a picture? If its like this, there is one solution |dw:1418689226844:dw|
