    When you have two lines, one of three things can occur: (1) the two lines will intersect at a single point (that is, at a single (x,y) pair of values) OR (2) the two lines will be parallel and not touch (that is, never intersect), or (3) the two lines

  • How do you interpret the solution of a system of equations by the corresponding graph?

    A solution to this system of two equations is a point that satisfies both equations, and hence must lie on both graphs. Likewise a point that lies on both graphs satisfies both equations. 2.

  • Systems of equations

    Since parallel lines never cross, then there can be no intersection; that is, for a system of equations that graphs as parallel lines, there can be no solution. This is called an "inconsistent" system of equations, and it has no solution.
