Determining Solutions from Graphs of Linear Equations

This video tutorial explains how to determine the number of solutions in systems of linear equations by analyzing their graphs. It covers three types of systems: consistent and independent (one solution), inconsistent (no solutions), and consistent and dependent (infinite solutions). Examples are provided for each type, illustrating how to identify the number of solutions based on the intersection, parallelism, or coincidence of lines.

What does it mean if the graphs of the equations are parallel?

• The system is dependent

• The system has no solutions

• The system has one solution

• The system has infinite solutions

How is a system classified if the two lines are parallel?

• Dependent

• Consistent and independent

• Consistent and dependent

In the first example, what indicates that the system has one solution?

• There is a point of intersection

• The lines are parallel

• The lines coincide

• The lines are perpendicular

In the third example, why does the system have no solutions?

• The lines intersect

• The lines coincide

• The lines are parallel

• The lines are perpendicular
