The graph of a system of equations with the same slope and the same y-intercepts will have no solutions. (A) Always (B) Sometimes (C) Never

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think this is C. @Hero @pooja195 @Sadworld

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it means that the lines are the same

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you will get a 0 = 0 many infinite solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is it sometimes?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

when would it have no solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when the slopes are the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or when the lines are parallel

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

what is the definition of parallel lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they have the same slopes but different y-intercepts and they do not intersect

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

but the condition you are given is with the SAME y-intercept meaning the lines are one in the same or infinitely intersecting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means that they are the same exact lines right? and same exact lines always have infinitely many solutions

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

yes

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

just try to solve it so you can see what is going on when you get a 0 = 0 it is infinitely many solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means that the answer is C (never) right?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

that is my understanding. I could be wrong @TuringTest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok lol
