Question

 

Determine the type of solution.

y = 3/4x + 5

5y = 15/4x + 25

Expert Solution
Step 1

Approach to solve these types of questions:

First, write the system of equations in slope-intercept form.  

y = mx + C

where m is the slope

and C is the y-intercept

  • if both the equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts, there is no solution because they will be parallel.
  • if both the equations have the same slope and same y-intercepts, there are infinitely many solutions.
  • if both the equations have different slopes there is one solution.
