Question 1022419: For each system of equations, use the determinants (D and possibly D little y) to state how many solutions exist. Then circle the appropriate conclusions about the equations and graphs.
3x-y=7
6x-2y=6
Equations are: consistent, inconsistent, dependant
Graph of the lines: intersect, are parallel, coincide Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Since one row of the matrix is a scalar multiple of the other, the determinant will equal zero. However, the and matrices do not have scalar multiple rows and therefore, have non-zero values. Conclusion: the system is inconsistent, i.e. the solution set is empty, and the graphs are parallel lines.
