Question

4. The equation for line m is . Use this information and these descriptions to write an equation for line n, line p, and line r.

(a) Line m and line n have no solutions. Write an equation that can represent line n.





(b) Line m and line p have infinitely many solutions. Write an equation that can represent line p.

Answer 1

a). this happens with parallel lines, they never touch. an example would be y=2x+1 and y= 2x - 3

b). lines have infinite solutions when they are coincident,. that means the exact same line. example. y= 6x+4 and 1/2y = 3x +2
