Read each question carefully and solve for the system of equations. Show all your work. Remember that systems with infinitely many solutions will result in an identity when simplified.
1. A system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions when the equations represent the line.
2. When solving a system of equations that has infinitely many solutions, you will arrive at a statement that is always , such as 0 = 0.
3. If two equations in a system are multiples of each other, they will have many solutions.
4. Which of the following systems of equations has infinitely many solutions?
x + y = 5 x - y = 1
