How many equations are there in the system?

OpenStudy (jollypikachu300):

idk

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look in the graph. The equations are written there.

OpenStudy (jollypikachu300):

2

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. There are 2 equations. Both equations were graphed and they both have exactly the same graph. They both graph as the same line. Every point of one equation is also a point of the other equation.

OpenStudy (jollypikachu300):

so then a

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Not exactly one solution. The entire line is a solution to the system of equations. How many points are there on a line?

OpenStudy (jollypikachu300):

so then c

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1459437567543:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Read what I wrote above. This system has solutions. Every point on the line is a solution. How many points are there on a line? Also, see my picture above. Which case do you have of the three graphs I showed above?

OpenStudy (jollypikachu300):

so then b

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. There is an infinite number of points in a straight line. The solution of the system of equations is every point on the line, so there are infinitely many solutions.
