Study Notes

Linear Systems Classifications

  • Exactly One Solution:

    • Characterized by consistent and independent systems.
    • Represented by intersecting lines that have different slopes, ensuring a unique point of intersection.
  • Infinitely Many Solutions:

    • Defined as consistent and dependent systems.
    • Occurs when the lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept, making them identical.
  • No Solution:

    • Classified as inconsistent systems.
    • Features parallel lines that have the same slope but different y-intercepts, leading to no points of intersection.
