Best Answer

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.

Can a pair of linear equation have exactly two solutions?

No. A pair of linear equation can have 0 solutions (they are parallel), or one solution (they cross at one point) or an infinite number of solutions (they represent the same line).


What does it mean for a ordered pair to be a solution to a linear equation?

An ordered pair is a solution only of a linear equation in two variables - not any linear equation. Often the variables are denoted by x and y. If the first of the ordered pair is substituted for x in the equation, and the second for y, then the equation represents a true statement.


Which ordered pair is a solution of the linear system?

This is a linear algebra question and it is incomplete since there are no equation which have to be solved.


Is it possible for 3 angles to form a linear pair?

No, "pair" implies two and only two.


Which word pair is the vertex of y equals x plus 4?

One option is "cannot exist". The equation is linear and linear equations do not have vertices.


What is y equals 1x plus 6?

It is a linear equation in the two variables x and y. A single linear equation in two variables cannot be solved for a unique pair of values of x and y. The equation is that of a straight line and any point on the line satisfies the equation.


Can a pair of linear angles form a linear pair?

Yes.


Are supplementary angles necessarily a linear pair?

No. All linear pair angles are supplementary, but supplementary angles do not have to be a linear pair.


Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation 2x - 3y equals 18?

There are an infinite number of solutions to this equation, some of which are (9,0), (12,2), (15,4), (18,6), (21,8)


What are the integer solutions to x to the y'th equals y to the x'th?

If x = y, then the equation is true for any integer pair. Otherwise, the equation is not equivalent and is impossible.


Do all supplementary angles from a linear pair Are all linear pair supplementary?

All supplementary angles do not form a linear pair. The opposite angles of any quadrilateral inscribed in a circle (a cyclic quadrilateral) are supplementary but they are not a linear pair. However, all linear pair are supplementary.


What is the Linear Pair conjecture?

The linear pair conjecture states that if two angles form a linear pair, the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.
