Study Notes
Solutions of Linear Equations
- One Solution: Achieved by intersecting lines in a graphical representation, indicating a unique solution to the system.
- No Solution: Occurs with parallel lines illustrating an inconsistent system where the equations cannot satisfy both conditions simultaneously.
- Infinite Solutions: Characterized by coincident lines, where the equations represent the same line, resulting in numerous solutions.
Systems of Linear Equations
- Definition: A system comprises two or more linear equations that utilize identical variables for solving relationships.
- Consistent System: Exists when a system of equations has one or more solutions, demonstrating that the equations can intersect at one point or along a line.
- Inconsistent System: A scenario in which a system of equations fails to find a solution, primarily due to the equations being parallel and never intersecting.
- Independent Equations: These are equations of a system with distinct graphs, indicating that they will intersect at a single point, resulting in one solution.
Points of Intersection
- Point of Intersection: The specific location in the coordinate plane where two intersecting lines meet, representing the solution to the system of equations.
Equation Relationships
- Dependent Equations: Different forms of the same equation that yield the same graph in the coordinate plane, indicating infinite solutions as they overlap perfectly.
