If the lines cross then there is one solution. If they are on top of each other then there are infinite solutions. If they are parallel then there are no solutions.

Is it possible for a linear system with infinitely many solutions to contain two lines with different y-intercepts?

No because they are essentially the same line


What are the possible solutions for a pair of linear equation?

Any system of linear equations can have the following number of solutions: 0 if the system is inconsistent (one of the equations degenerates to 0=1) 1 if the system is linearly independent infinity if the system has free variables and is not inconsistent.


How many possible solutions can a system of two linear equations in two unknowns have?

A system of two linear equations in two unknowns can have three possible types of solutions: exactly one solution (when the lines intersect at a single point), no solutions (when the lines are parallel and never intersect), or infinitely many solutions (when the two equations represent the same line). Thus, there are three potential outcomes for such a system.


There is a system of linear equations with exactly two solutions is it true or false?

False. There can either be zero, one, or infinite solutions to a system of two linear equations.


Is it possible for a system of linear equations to have zero solutions?

Yes, a system of linear equations can have zero solutions, which is known as an inconsistent system. This occurs when the equations represent parallel lines that never intersect, meaning there is no point that satisfies all equations simultaneously. A common example is the system represented by the equations (y = 2x + 1) and (y = 2x - 3), which are parallel and thus have no solutions.

Why a system of linear equations cannot have exactly two solutions?

A system of linear equations can only have: no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.


What are the three types of possible solutions to a system of equations?

If the equations are linear, they may have no common solutions, one common solutions, or infinitely many solutions. Graphically, in the simplest case you have two straight lines; these can be parallel, intersect in a same point, or actually be the same line. If the equations are non-linear, they may have any amount of solutions. For example, two different intersecting ellipses may intersect in up to four points.

How many solutions does the system of linear equations shown have?

As there is no system of equations shown, there are zero solutions.


Can a system of two linear equations have exactly two solutions?

Yes, a system can, in fact, have exactly two solutions.


Can a linear system have exactly two solutions?

NO! A linear system can only have one solution (the lines intersect at one point), no solution (the lines are parallel), and infinitely many solutions (the lines are equivalent).


Can a system of two linear equations in two variables have 3 solutions?

No. At least, it can't have EXACTLY 3 solutions, if that's what you mean. A system of two linear equations in two variables can have:No solutionOne solutionAn infinite number of solutions
