Simultaneous Equations

If a system of linear equations has one solution, what does this mean about the two lines? 

• Parallel lines
• the same line 
• Intersecting lines

What is the solution?

• (1, -1)
• (-1, 1)
• (0, -2)
• (0, 1)

If a system of equations has no solution, what does the graph look like? 

• intersecting lines
• parallel lines
• skew lines
• intersecting lines

Solve the system of equations.
y = 4x+1
3x + 2y = 13

• (1, 5)
• (5, 1)
• (0.25, 2)
• ∅

Solve the following system
x + 9y = 8
-6x - 9y = -3

• (1,-1)
• (1,1)
• (-1,1)
• (-1,-1)

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450
• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315
• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

There are 15 animals in a barn.  These animals are horses and chickens.  There are 44 legs in all.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• x + y = 15
  4x + 2y = 44
• 4x + 2y = 15
  x + y = 44
• x = 2y + 44
  4x = y + 15
• 2x - 4y = 44
  x - y = 15

y = 6x - 11

-2x - 3y = -7

2x - 3y = -1

y = x - 1

y = -3x + 5

5x - 4y = -3
