Solving Special Systems of Linear Equations

If a system of equations has no solution, what does the graph look like? 

• intersecting lines
• parallel lines
• skew lines
• intersecting lines

What is the solution?

• (1, -1)
• (-1, 1)
• (0, -2)
• (0, 1)

How many solutions does this system of equations have?

• One Solution
• No solution
• Infinitely Many Solutions
• Two Solutions

If a system of linear equations has one solution, what does this mean about the two lines? 

• Parallel lines
• the same line 
• Intersecting lines

Solve the system of equations.
y = 4x+1
3x + 2y = 13

• (1, 5)
• (5, 1)
• (0.25, 2)
• ∅

Determine if (4, 1) is a solution for the system of equations.
y = -x + 5
y = 2x - 7

• yes
• no

Solve for x and y.
y = 2/3x - 2
y = -x + 3

• (0,3)
• (0,-3)
• (3,0)
• (-3,0)

Solve for x and y
3x + 2y = 16
7x + y = 19

• (-2,5)
• (-2,-5)
• (2,-5)
• (2,5)

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450
• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315
• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  How long does it take her to do a haircut?
3x + 2y = 315
2x + 4y = 450

• 45 minutes
• 90 minutes
  2x + 4y = 315
• 60 minutes
  3x + 4y = 450
• 30 minutes
