Question

How many solutions can 2 linear equations have?

Answer 1

2 linear equations can only have 1 solution.

Explanation:

⭐ What is a linear equation?

• A linear equation is a type of equation that, when graphed, looks like a straight line
• A linear equation can be written in 3 ways:
  `Ax + By = C`,
  `y = mx + b`, and
  `y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)`.

⭐What does "solution" mean?

• The solution for 2 equations is the point (x,y) that the 2 equations intersect at.

Thus, when 2 linear equations intersect, they can only have 1 solution, because straight lines can only meet at 1 point.
