Exploring Systems of Linear Equations — Quiz

Question 6 • Mathematics 8

Suppose a system of two linear equations has one solution. What must be true about the graphs of the two equations?

Answer
A
They intersect at two points.
B
They have the same slope.
C
They have the same y -intercept.
D
They intersect at one point.

Explanation

A solution to a system is a point that satisfies both equations, so it lies on both graphs. If the system has exactly one solution, the graphs share exactly one point; therefore, they intersect at one point. Parallel lines have no intersection, while the same line has infinitely many.
