The graph of a system of equations with the same slope will have no solutions. a. Always b. Sometimes c. Never I know I already asked this but B ended up being wrong

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

b is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It wasnt right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If the two equations have the same slope, then you can have either parallel lines with no solutions, or the same line twice with an infinite number of solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its asking when will it have no solutions

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Sometimes it has solutions, and sometimes it does not have solutions.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If it does not allow for the same equation twice, then the answer is never.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its asking if the lines aren't parallel

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The same slope means the line ARE parallel. Parallel lines mean no solution since the lines do not intersect.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If this question does not allow for the possibility of the equations being the same, then the answer is NEVER. Choice C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its C

Oh okay thank you
