convert the equation into slope intercept form.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the slope is the same and the y-intercept is the same, then the equations form an identical line and have an infinite number of solutions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the slope is the same and the y-intercept is different, then the equations form parallel lines and have no solutions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "otherwise, the equations will form lines that intersect at one common point on a two dimensional graphing plane.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since your equations are already in slope intercept form, then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first equation is y = -3x + 7 and second equation is y = -3x + 7 leads to a common line which has an infinite number of solutions, i.e. all points on both lines are common to the other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in standard form, they may not look like they're identical.
\n" ); document.write( "in fact, they will probably be multiples of each other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "consider:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x + 7y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 14y = 28\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide the second equation by 2 to get 5x + 7y = 14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first and second equation are the same, therefore will generate one common line where all points on the first line are common to all points on the second line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first equation is y = -3x + 7 and second equation is y = -3x + 14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope is the same but y-intercept is different.
\n" ); document.write( "these equations are are parallel and will have no solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first equation is y = -3x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "second equation is y = 5x + 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "these equations are neither parallel or identical, therefore they will have one common point between both of them.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the terminology is as follow:\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent.
\n" ); document.write( "When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent . The graphs of the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 7 and y = -3x + 7 is consistent and dependent because it has an infinite number of solutions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 7 and y = -3x + 14 is inconsistent because it has no solutions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 7 and y = 5x + 7 is consistent and independent because it has one solution.\r
