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.
