The lines ℓ1 and ℓ2 are positioned as shown in the graph. Move the point C vertically.
From the previous example, the following conclusions about systems of linear equations can be made.
Condition | Conclusion | Example |
---|---|---|
The lines of the system have the same slope and the same y-intercept. | The lines are coincidental. This means that there are infinitely many points of intersection. Therefore, the system has infinitely many solutions. | {y=3x+1y=3x+1
|
The lines of the system have the same slope but different y-intercept. | The lines are parallel. This means that there is not a point of intersection. Therefore, the system has no solution. | {y=3x+1y=3x+5
|
The lines of the system have different slopes. | The lines are neither parallel nor coincidental. This means that there is one point of intersection. Therefore, the system has one solution. | {y=3x+1y=-2x+5
|
These conclusions can be seen in the following diagram.
In the previous graph, it can be seen that the initial angle between the lines measures 90∘. Therefore, the lines are perpendicular.
The theorems seen in this lesson can be used to identify quadrilaterals and some of their properties.
Determine whether quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Explain the reasoning.
Yes, see solution.
Recall that a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
Yes, see solution.
Start by drawing the diagonals of the rhombus. Then, find the slopes of the diagonals.
