FAN AND MEDAL!!! How many solutions will this system of equations have? y = -3.5x - 3.5 y = -3.5x + 3.5 No solution Infinite solutions One solution Two solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's solve together :) Firstly we should equate 2 equations and what do we have ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait tell me if im right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are parrallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're not because if you write that: -3.5x + 3.5 = -3.5x + 3.5 Then we have -3.5 = 3.5 but it's not true so there's no solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes they're parallel and parallel lines don't intersect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! Can you help me with another one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph of a system of equations with different slopes will have no solutions. Always Sometimes Never

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's never because in exclusive situation <if they have same slope> (that means they're parallel) lines don't intersect.So it is not important what slopes are.If they are different(slopes);lines intersect at certain point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The certain point solution of equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's the last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes (never) the last one.
