If two linear equations are in standard form how can you tell that the graphs are parellel?
If the slopes are the same on both graphs, they are parallel, and will never touch.
How can you tell if two equations are parallel?
if they have the same slope If two linear equations are inconsistent - that is, have no solution, then the graphs would be parallel and have the same slope if their slope is defined. Example: x + y = 1 x + y = 2 Example with no slope: x = 1 x = 2
How can you tell if a graph is a linear function?
The word linear means in a straight line. If the graph is a line, it is linear. Also, linear equations are of the first order; they contain a variable but not a square (or higher power) of a variable. If the equation contains x2 it is not linear.
How can you tell that an equation has the same solution as the original equation?
If the two equations are linear transformations of one another they have the same solution.
When will be the linear equations a1x plus b1y plus c1 equals 0 and a2x plus b2y plus c2 equals 0 has unique solution?
When (the graph of the equations) the two lines intersect. The equations will tell you what the slopes of the lines are, just look at them. If they are different, then the equations have a unique solution..
