@Angle

teressa24:

pls help @Angle

Angle:

No problem. The idea we are using here is that: The place where the two graphed lines touch is the solution.

In the picture I have attached ^ How many times does it look like the red and blue lines touch?

teressa24:

it will never touch? right

Angle:

exactly!

teressa24:

because it parallel

teressa24:

ok

Angle:

perfect so if the number of solutions = how many times it touches then you know your answer

darkknight:

Also, if u lines have the same slope, they are parallel and will never touch. Unless the y intercepts are also the same in taht case they overlap

teressa24:

ok than you Angle
