Need Help ASAP will give medal The coordinates below represent two linear equations. How many solutions does this system of equations have? Line 1 x y –6 3 3 6 Line 2 x y –3 1 3 3 A. 0 B. exactly 1 C. exactly 2 D. infinitely many

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by finding the slope of each line. Do you know how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. hang on one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first on is 1/3 right.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one is also 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. So since the slopes are the same it narrows down the options to A (parallel lines) or D (the same line).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these two lines never intercept so it would be no solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
