*WILL FAN AND MEDAL** PLEASE HELP ME The coordinates below represent two linear equations. How many solutions does this system of equations have? Line 1 x y –3 6 3 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Line 2 x y –6 7 9 2

You may have to use the given data to find the actual equations that represent these two situations. Once you have those equations you can determine whether the system of two equations has 1, 2 or 0 solutions. You could also learn a lot by graphing the given data. Do your two graphs ever cross one another? If so, at which x value?

not to berude but I really need the answer like yesterday , can u please explain the answer :( @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Not to be rude (either), but I did ask you to either find the equation pertaining to each set of given points Line 1 x y –3 6 3 4 or to graph the points and draw a straight line thru them. Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line connecting the 2 points immediately above; then find the equation of the line. I'd suggest you use the point-slope formula, \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

for this purpose.

If you do graph the 2 lines, then: If the lines never cross, NO SOLUTION If the lines cross in one point, ONE solution If the lines coincide (one lies on top of the other), INFINITELY MANY solutions.
