What does it mean for two lines to be parallel in a system of linear equations?

Back

Parallel lines have no points in common; they do not intersect.

What does it mean for two lines to intersect in a system of linear equations?

Back

Intersecting lines have exactly one point in common, which is the solution to the system.

What are coincident lines in a system of linear equations?

Back

Coincident lines are lines that lie on top of each other, representing an infinite number of solutions.

What is the elimination method for solving systems of equations?

Back

A method where equations are added or subtracted to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other.
