How many solutions does the system of equations below have?

−

no solution

one solution

infinitely many solutions

A system of two equations can be classified as follows:

If the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the system has no solution.

If the slopes are different, the system has one solution.

If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same, the system has infinitely many solutions.

The two equations are identical, so the lines are exactly the same. The system has infinitely many solutions.
