Systems of Linear Equations Unit Test Determine the number of solutions to this system of linear equations: 2x + y = 6; 4x + 2y = 8 (1 point )

1 answer

This system of linear equations is dependent because the second equation is a multiple of the first equation. In other words, if you multiply the first equation by 2, you get the second equation.

Since the equations are dependent, they represent the same line and have infinitely many solutions.
