To determine the number of solutions for each system of equations, we can compare their slopes. If the slopes are equal, the lines are parallel and there is no solution. If the slopes are different, the lines intersect at a single point and there is one solution. If the slopes are equal and the y-intercepts are also equal, the lines are coincident and there are infinite solutions.
Let's analyze the given systems one by one:
1. y = 5x + 7
3y - 15x = 18
Both equations are in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where the slopes (m) are 5 and -5, respectively. Since the slopes are not equal, these lines intersect at a single point and there is one solution.
Answer: One solution
2. y = 3x + 6
y = -13x - 4
Again, both equations are in slope-intercept form, but this time the slopes are 3 and -13, respectively. Once again, the slopes are not equal, so there is one solution.
Answer: One solution
3. x - 2y = 6
3x - 6y = 18
Now, these equations are in standard form, which we'll convert to slope-intercept form first. The first equation can be rearranged to y = 0.5x - 3, and the second equation can be simplified to x - 2y = 6. The slopes of both lines are equal (0.5), but the y-intercepts are different. Therefore, the lines are parallel and there is no solution.
Answer: No solution
4. y = 23x - 1
y = 23x - 2
These equations are in slope-intercept form and both have the same slope (23). However, the y-intercepts are different, indicating that the lines are parallel and there is no solution.
Answer: No solution
Summary:
1. One solution
2. One solution
3. No solution
4. No solution
