coconutjj · Answer

Like the previous one you posted... what can you infer?

anonymous · Answer

the lines cross each other that's one thing that I can infer

ganeshie8 · Answer

consistent and independent  `exactly ONE solution`

inconsistent  `No solutions`

coincident `infinitely many solutions`

ganeshie8 · Answer

look at the given graph, the two straight lines are crossing each other ONE time.

since they are going straight in different directions, they cannot cross again. so how many solutions ?

anonymous · Answer

erm... one solution?? :[]

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yes! exactly ONE solution
