Question

Which set of equations would have infinitely many solutions? JUSTIFY your answer in #4.

Answer 1

Answer:

2nd option: 2y=6x+8 and y=3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the first by 2, you get the second equation.

This means that both equations plot an identical line (they lie on top of each other /also known as "coincide"). This means, that there are infinitely many solutions.

In 2D (x-y plane for example), straight lines can have no solutions if they have the same gradient/slope/ they are parallel and different y-intercepts, because they will never cross.

Here, they have same gradient and y-intercept so all points on the line are valid solutions to the equation
