What is a system of equations?

Back

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables. The solution to the system is the set of values that satisfy all equations simultaneously.

What does it mean for a system of equations to have one solution?

Back

A system of equations has one solution when the graphs of the equations intersect at exactly one point, indicating a unique solution for the variables.

How do you determine if a system of equations has no solution?

Back

A system of equations has no solution if the equations represent parallel lines, which means they never intersect.

What is the graphical representation of a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?

Back

The graphical representation of a system with infinitely many solutions is when the equations represent the same line, meaning every point on the line is a solution.

What is the substitution method in solving systems of equations?

Back

The substitution method involves solving one equation for one variable and then substituting that expression into the other equation to find the values of the variables.

How can you check if your solution to a system of equations is correct?

Back

You can check your solution by substituting the values back into the original equations to see if they satisfy all equations.

What is the significance of coefficients in a system of equations?

Back

Coefficients represent the numerical factors of the variables in the equations and determine the slope and position of the lines when graphed.

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that forms a straight line when graphed, typically in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
