Question

Question 1 of 25 Imagine that you are given two linear equations in slope-intercept form. You notice that the slopes are the same, but the y-intercepts are different. How many solutions would you expect for this system of equations? O A. cannot be determined B. 1 O co o D. infinitely many

Answer 1

C. 0

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let's graph the situation

a)you notice that the slope is the same, it means the lines are parallel

b)the y-intercepts are different:the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis

hence, we need to graph two parallel lines that cross the y-axis at a different point

Step 2

conclude:

We find that since there is no common point, so there is no ordered pair that makes both equations true. Hence, there is no solution to the given system of equations.

therefore, the answer is 0 solutions

C. 0
