To state:
If the given statement is true for the given system of linear equations always, sometimes, or never.
The given statement is sometimes true.
Given:
The system of linear equations:
The statement:
If
Concepts Used:
If the equation of a line is expressed as
If two lines have different slopes then the solutions of the system of these two lines has only one solution.
If two lines have equal slopes and their
If two lines have equal slopes and their
Calculations:
If
Comparing the lines with
Two cases are possible.
Case I: if the slopes are equal
The lines have both the slopes and the intercepts equal. Thus, they have infinitely many solutions.
Case II: if the slopes are not equal
The lines have different slopes. Thus, they have exactly one solution.
Conclusion:
There is one case
Thus, the given statement that “If
