consistent dependent
Although there is no graph, the number of solutions is 0.
No. There are none, one or infinitely many solutions. No other value is possible. A system of two linear equation can be represented by two straight lines in space (of 2 or more dimensions). Such lines can be non-intersecting (0 solutions), or they can intersect at one point (1 solution), or they can be coincident (infinitely many solns). Two non-intersecting lines in 2-d space must be parallel but in spaces of 3 or more dimensions they can simply be non-coplanar. For example, imagine you are in a cuboid room. One line is the join of the walls to your left and behind you, the other line is where the floor meets the far wall. These lines are not parallel but they do not meet.
A system of equations will have no solutions if the line they represent are parallel. Remember that the solution of a system of equations is physically represented by the intersection point of the two lines. If the lines don't intersect (parallel) then there can be no solution.
A system of equations will have one solution if the graphs of the lines intersect. This is because the lines intersect at a single point. Let's say that point is (a, b). The x = a, y = b is the one and only solution for the system.
Correct. Unless the parallel lines are coincident, in which case the solution set is the whole line.
None, one or an infinite number. In graph form, the three correspond to: None = Parallel lines One = Interscting lines Infinite = Coincident lines.
If the lines intersect, then the intersection point is the solution of the system. If the lines coincide, then there are infinite number of the solutions for the system. If the lines are parallel, there is no solution for the system.
The set of points the graphed equations have in common. This is usually a single point but the lines can be coincident in which case the solution is a line or they can be parallel in which case there are no solutions to represent.
inconsistent
If you graph a system of two lines and all you see is one line, this means that both lines are the same. Any point on the line is a solution, so the system has an infinite number of solutions.
No Solutions
no solutions
Coincident lines are essentially two linear functions whose graphs are the same; therefore, the two lines will have the same slope and the same y-intercept. When graphed, the lines will be one on top of the other.
There will be o solutions.
Intersecting or coincident.
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).
