LINEAR
EQUATION
 • To determine the type of the system of
LESSON 2 linear equations in two variables, write
Classifying the given equations in:
Systems of a. slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and
compare the values of the slopes (m)
Linear and y-intercepts (b)
Equations b. standard form (Ax + By + C = 0) and
compare the values of A, B and C
 DEFINITION:
• A system of linear equations is:
-consistent if it has at least one solution
-inconsistent if it does not have a solution
• A system is:
-dependent if it has an infinite number of solutions
-independent if it has exactly one solution
Consider the system:
x – 2y = 2
3x + 2y = 10
a. Is the system consistent or inconsistent?
b. Are the equations dependent or independent?
c. How many solutions does the system have?
d. What kind of graph?

Determine whether each linear system has one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions.

1. x + 2y = 4 6. y = 1 – 3x
2x + 4y = 8 6x + 2y = 2

2. 2x – 5y = -7 7. 4x – 3y = 5
4x + 3y = 25 6y = 3 + 8x

3. 5x + 2y = 9 8. 4x + 3 = 4y
