The Way Lines Intersect

Graph the following linear systems and complete the table below:

Linear A B C
System y = 2x + 1 − 3y = 6 − 2x 4x − 2 y = 6
y = −x + 7 2x − 9 = 3y 6x = 9 + 3y

Number of
solution

How can we determine the number of solutions a system will have by just looking at the
equations?
MPM2D By Wilson Lesson 1.4

A system of linear equations has:

1. One solution if the 2 linear equations have:

i.e. the lines ________________________

2. No solutions if the 2 linear equations have:

i.e. the lines are _____________________

3. Infinite number of solutions if the 2 linear equations have:

i.e. the lines ________________________
