Question

How many solutions does the system of equations below have?
y = −6x + 9
y = 9/8x − 3

Answer 1

1 solution

Explanation:

A system of two equations can be classified as follows:

1) If the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the system has no solution.

2) If the slopes are different, the system has one solution.

3) If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same, the system has infinitely many solutions
