System of equations Flashcards
1
Q
What does parallel mean
A
2 lines that are equi-distant and never touch
This also means they have the same slope
1
Q
How many scenarios are there?
A
1) parallel
2) one solution
3) infinite solutions
2
Q
What is meant by how many solutions?
A
A solution in “system of equations” means that 2 lines intersect with each other
3
Q
what are the 4 steps to solving comparison method?
A
1) Make sure the ‘y’ from both equations are isolated.
2) Make both equations equal to each other
3) solve for ‘x’
4) solve for ‘y’ using x from step 3 (substitution)
4
Q
Up to how many solutions can a system of equations have?
A
1) 1 solution
2) No solution
3) infinite solutions
