how maNY solutions do these equations have? No solution, one solution, infinite solutions.

a) y = 2x + 3 and y = -2x + 11

b) y = x + 2 and -2x + 2y = 4

c) y = x - 3 and y = x + 6

d) y = 7 and y =3x-5

e) y = -4x and y = -4x - 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y = 2x + 3 and y = -2x + 11

 One solution.  They are straight lines with different slopes, so they will intersect at some point.  

b) y = x + 2 and -2x + 2y = 4

  -2x + 2y = 4 can be rearranged to 2y = 2x +4 and then y = x + 4

    Both lines have the same slope, 1.  They are parallel and will never meet.  No solutions.

c) y = x - 3 and y = x + 6

 This has the same answer as c.  Parallel lines (both have slopes of 1.).  They will never meet:  no solutions.

d) y = 7 and y =3x-5

One solution.  Straight lines with different slopes (3 and 0) so they will cross at one point.  [At (4,7)]

e) y = -4x and y = -4x - 1

Same slopes.  There are no solutions.
