5-1: Estimate Solutions by Inspection

You can tell this system of equations has one solution because...

• The y-intercepts are the same

• The slopes are the same

• The y-intercepts are different

• The slopes are different

Which system of equations has infinitely many solutions?

• 3y = –5x + 7

  3x = –5y – 7

• 3y = x – 4

  3x – 9y = –12

• 2x + y = 2

  –4x – 2y = 4

• 2y = 3x + 6

  4y = 6x + 12

Which system of equations has no solution?

• 3y = 1 + x

  y = –2x + 5

• 4x – 5y = 3

  –3 = 4x – 5y

• 5x + 4y = 1

  4x – 2y = 4

• y = –3x + 4

  y = (–3/4)x + 1

Each equation in a system of linear equations has the same slope. What are the possible solutions the system could have?

• The system could have no solution or infinitely many solutions.

• The system could have one solution or no solution.

• The system could have one solution.

• The system could have one solution or infinitely many solutions.

Suri makes $15 per hour and gets a weekly bonus of $25. Juan makes $14 per hour and gets a weekly bonus of $50. Is it possible for Suri and Juan to make the same amount of wages, y, by working the same number of hours, x, in one week?

• Yes because the slopes of the equations are different so the system of equations will have one solution.

• No because the slopes of the equations are the same so the system of equations will have no solution.

• Yes because the slopes of the equations are the same so the system of equations will have no solution.

• No because the slopes of the equations are different so the system of equations will have one solution.

Simplify each equation. Tell whether the equation has one, no, or infinite solutions.
