Question 17 of 25

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

Answer 1

A. infinitely many

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Solving systems of equations

Explanation:

If 2 lines are parallel (same slope, different y-intercept), they would have no solution.

If 2 lines were the same (same slope, same y-intercept), they would have infinite amount of solutions.
