Solved by pluggable solver: Solve the System of Equations by Graphing |
Start with the given system of equations: In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation. So let's solve for y on the first equation Now lets graph So let's solve for y on the second equation Now lets add the graph of From the graph, we can see that the two lines are identical (one lies perfectly on top of the other) and intersect at all points of both lines. So there are an infinite number of solutions and the system is dependent. |
