Question

please help me.
Given the following dependent system of equations
Ax + By = C
Dx + Ey = F
where A, B, C, D, E, and F are non-zero Real Numbers, which of the following choice(s)
would be an accurate representation of the solution set? For each choice explain why it does
or why it does not represent the correct solution set.
a) {(x,y)l Ax+By=C}
b) (a, b)
c) {}, the Empty Set
d) {(x,y)l Dx+Ey=F}

Answer 1

Answer 2

@Blosson505 i think the answer is either a or d

Answer 3

why

Answer 4

the hint our professor gave us was to use the definition of dependent system

Answer 5

idk if that helps

Answer 6

@selena44 I ask for other people to help because I am really not that good at math. :( but I always try to help.

Answer 8

does anyone know?

Answer 9

{(x,y)l Ax+By=C} and {(x,y)l Dx+Ey=F} mean that any value of x and y make the system true, meaning the equations represent the same line and the system is dependent.

(a, b) means that (a,b) is the only point that works for the system and the system is independent, and the lines intersect once.

{}, the Empty Set means there is no solution to the system, it is inconsistent, and the lines are parallel.

Answer 10

okay... so how can i get the answer?

Answer 11

like, how d i know whtat answer choices work or not

Answer 12

"Given the following DEPENDENT system of equations..."

Answer 13

Only 1 thing I wrote is about dependent systems

Answer 14

choice A

Answer 15

and?

Answer 16

d

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

oooh okay thanks so much

Answer 19

you're welcome
