Do linear equations contain x squared?
No, linear equations don't have x2. Equation with x and y are usually linear equations. Equations with either x2 or y2 (but never both) are usually quadratic equations.
If a system of linear equations has no solution then the graph of the two equationsmust be what kind of line?
parallel
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.
If a system of equations is independent how many soultions will it have?
A system of equations may have any amount of solutions. If the equations are linear, the system will have either no solution, one solution, or an infinite number of solutions. If the equations are linear AND there are as many equations as variables, AND they are independent, the system will have exactly one solution.
Where the given equations are not linear?
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
Determine whether the graphs of the equations are parallelperpendicular or neither?
Base on the slope of two linear equations (form: y = mx+b, where slope is m): - If slopes are equal, the 2 graphs are parallel - If the product of two slopes equals to -1, the 2 graphs are perpendicular. If none of the above, then the 2 graphs are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
If a system of linear equations has exactly one solution then the two lines are what?
perpendicular
What is true about a system of two linear equations that has no solution?
The two equations represent parallel lines.
How can you tell linear equations are parallel?
Equations are never parallel, but their graphs may be. -- Write both equations in "standard" form [ y = mx + b ] -- The graphs of the two equations are parallel if 'm' is the same number in both of them.
By looking at two linear equations how can you tell that the corresponding lines are parallel?
By looking st two linear equations you can tell that the corresponding lines are parallel when the slope is the same. The slope controls where the line is.
Do linear equations contain x squared?
No, linear equations don't have x2. Equation with x and y are usually linear equations. Equations with either x2 or y2 (but never both) are usually quadratic equations.
Are perpendicular lines considered nonlinear?
No, two lines perpendicular to each other are wriiten as two separate equations. Both are linear.
Is y equals -4x plus 1 perpendicular?
It is perpendicular to a family of other linear equations: of the form 4y = x + c
How do you identify two linear equations that are parallel using slopes of two lines?
Two linear equations that are parallel with have the sameslope, or the m value in y = mx + b will be the same.For example, y = 3x + 5 is parallel to y = 3x - 6
If a system of linear equations has no solution then the graph of the two equationsmust be what kind of line?
parallel
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.
What is the definition of Simultaneous Linear Equations?
A system of linear equations is two or more simultaneous linear equations. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
