Question

Imagine that you are given two linear equations in slope-intercept form. You notice that the slopes are the same, but the y-intercepts are different. How many solutions would you expect for this system of equations?
A. Cannot be determined
B. 0
C. 1
D. Infinitely many

Answer 1

B

If two lines have the same slope and different intercepts, then they will never cross each other; they are parallel lines. Therefore, they have no solutions since a solution is where the lines cross.
