Question

Classify the system of equations and identify the number of solutions.

35x + 5y = 15
y = 3 − 7x

Answer 1

D. Consistent, dependent, infinite solutions. If you graphed the two lines, they'd be the same line

multiply the 2nd equation by 5 and you get the 1st equation. They are equivalent equations, linearly

dependent. an infinite number of (x,y) points would satisfy the equations. such as (1,-4), (0, 3)

(-1, 10), (2, -11), ....and endless other points
