The solution to a system of two linear equations is x = 3 weeks; y = 9 feet

How could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?

1 curving the lines around so that they cross multiple times

2 no way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points

3 making the lines parallel to eachother

4 the point where the nine foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks

5 from the origin, find the y-intercepts and subtract them

6 the point where the lines cross the y axis after three weeks

1 answer

The correct answer is:

2 no way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points.

A system of two linear equations can have exactly one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. It is not possible to have exactly two or three solutions to a system of linear equations.
