Considering High School level question, answer can be written as:
A system of 2 linear equations is [two] dimensional. It is a graph of [two] lines. The solutions can be [unique] solution if the graph intersects. [No] solution if the lines are parallel - meaning they have the same slope, or [Infinitely many] solutions if they are the same line.
Explanation:
when two lines are drawn on a two-dimensional plane then there are only three possible cases:
Case1: lines will intersect
In that case you will get a unique solution at the intersection point.
Case2: lines are parallel but don't touch each other
In that case there will be no point which lies on both lines so No solution.
Case3: lines are overlapping.
In that case all the points lies on both lines so infinitely many solutions.
The sample was 10 numbers.
4 of the numbers are less than 301.
So 4 out of 10 would be defective.
4/10 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%
He would expect 40% to be defective.
y = -2 and x= 3
Graph is attached below. Black line is the graph of y=-2
Blue line is the graph of x=3
Whenever we get equation like x = something, in that case slope is always undefined
Whenever we get equation like y = something, in that case slope is always 0
y = -2 and x= 3
For x=3, the slope is undefined.
The graph of x=3 is a vertical line at 3 on x. The x intercept is 3 and there is no y intercept.
For y=-2, the slope is 0
The graph of y=-2 is a horizontal line at -2 on y. The y intercept is -2 and there is no x intercept.
