1. It can have a unique solution. On a graph this would be single point of intersection.

2. It can no no solutions such as two parallel lines on a graph.

3. It can have an infinite number of solutions such as two equations that represent the same line on a graph.

You can make up examples to see this very easily.

For number 3, take any linear equation such as y=x+1

Now multiply both sides of the equation by 10 10y=10x+10. The solution to the system of those two equations is all real numbers, an infinite solution.

Now for number 2, take any line and just find a parallel line. Easy to do by simply making sure it has the same sloe but a different y intercept.

For the last one, take two lines that intersect. This will most often be the case if you randomly pick two linear equation. Say y =x+1 and y=3x+13. Different slope and different y intercept.

There are infinitely many such parabolas, four possibilities are: y = x² - 3 y = 5 - x² x = y² - 3 x = -1 - y² Given the focus as well would give an exact equation


If the ordered pair (3-2) satisfies one of the two linear equations in a system how can you tell whether the point satisfies the other equation of the system?

Substitute the values for the two variables in the second equation. If the resulting equation is true then the point satisfies the second equation and if not, it does not.


Is (4 -3) a solution of this system 3x - 3y 21 5x plus 4y 24?

To determine if (4, -3) is a solution to the system, we need to substitute x = 4 and y = -3 into both equations. For the first equation (3x - 3y = 21): (3(4) - 3(-3) = 12 + 9 = 21) (True) For the second equation (5x + 4y = 24): (5(4) + 4(-3) = 20 - 12 = 8) (False) Since (4, -3) does not satisfy the second equation, it is not a solution to the system.

What is the solution of the system of equation graphed y equals -2 plus 5 y equals x-5?

To find the solution of the system of equations ( y = -2 + 5 ) and ( y = x - 5 ), we first simplify the first equation to ( y = 3 ). Next, we set ( 3 = x - 5 ) from the second equation and solve for ( x ), yielding ( x = 8 ). Therefore, the solution to the system is the point ( (8, 3) ).

One equation in a system of linear equations has a slope of -3 the other equation has a slope of 4 how many solutions does the system have?

A system of linear equations with slopes of -3 and 4 represents two lines that are not parallel. Since the lines have different slopes, they will intersect at exactly one point. Therefore, the system has one unique solution.

How many different 3-digit numbers can you make with the digits 1 2 and 3 if repetition is permitted?

27 The first digit can be 1, 2 or 3 for 3 total possibilities. For each of those 3 possibilities, the second digit can be 1, 2 or 3, so that's 3 * 3 = 9 possibilities for the first two digits. For each of those 9 possibilities, the third digit can be 1, 2 or 3, so that's 9 * 3 = 27 possibilities for the three digits.
