How are slopes and y-intercepts related to the number of solutions of a system of linear equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago
7 0
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

For a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns, there are 3 cases:

  1. slopes are different — one solution
  2. slopes are the same and y-intercepts are different — no solutions
  3. slopes and y-intercepts are the same — infinitely many solutions

When slopes are different, the two lines intersect at <em>one</em> point, the <em>solution</em>.

When slopes are the same, the lines may be either parallel (different y-intercepts) or the same (same y-intercepts). If the lines are parallel, there are no points of intersection, hence <em>no solutions</em>. If the lines are the same line, they intersect at all points, so there are <em>infinitely many solutions</em>.

What is the value of cos x°?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

We know,

\cos(x)  =  \frac{b}{h}  =  \frac{15}{17}

so

\cos(x)  = 0.88

.....Hope this helps:)

In congruent figures, corresponding angles have equal measures. true or false?
algol [13]
This is true

Think of two houses. If we say "the houses are identical" then the corresponding pieces must be the same (eg: the doors must be the same type out of the same material). In this analogy, the houses are the triangles, which are the overall structures. The doors are the angles since they are pieces of the overall structures. This is what CPCTC is saying

CPCTC = Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Once again, the final answer is true.
