Read each question carefully and determine the number of solutions for each system of equations. Choose the best answer or write your explanation where prompted.
1. How many solutions does the following system of equations have? y = 3x - 5 6x - 2y = 10
One solution
No solution
Infinitely many solutions
Cannot be determined
2. Consider the system of equations: y = -x + 4 y = 2x + 1 Graph the two lines on the coordinate plane below and determine the number of solutions.
Number of Solutions:
3. If two linear equations in a system have the same slope but different y-intercepts, the system has solutions. This indicates the lines are .
4. If two linear equations in a system have different slopes, they will intersect at exactly point, meaning there is solution.
5. A system consisting of a circle and a line can have a maximum of how many solutions?
One
Two
Three
Infinitely many
6. A system of two distinct parabolas can have at most four solutions.
True
False
7. Determine the number of solutions for the system: y = x^2 - 4x + 3 y = -x + 3 Explain your reasoning. (Hint: Use substitution or elimination.)
