Question 3 • NJ-Algebra II

Select all of the possibilities for the number of solutions of a two-variable linear system.

Answer
A
no solutions
B
1 solution
C
2 solutions
D
infinite solutions

Explanation

Two linear equations in two variables represent lines in a plane. The lines can be parallel and distinct, giving no solutions; intersect at one point, giving 1 solution; or lie on top of each other, giving infinitely many solutions. They cannot intersect at exactly 2 points, so 2 solutions is not possible.
