An infinite number of solutions means a coincident line...it is the same line
3y = 2x - 9...divide by 3
y = 2/3x - 3...hmm...same line as answer choice b....they are coincident lines and have infinite solutions
Do u have a problem that went with this?
Answer:
A) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of the second equation are 1/3 of those of the first equation. If the constant of the second equation is also 1/3 of the constant of the first equation, then the equations are <em>dependent</em>, and will have an infinite number of solutions.
The constant must be something other than 1/3·15 = 5 to make the equations <em>inconsistent</em>, having no solutions.
It cannot be simplified more than that. hope this helps!
