2. x y 5–5 5 (4, 2) x y 5–5 5 x y 5 – 5 5 (A) 2x – 3y= 2 x + 2y= 8 (B) 4x + 6y= 12 2x + 3y= –6 Lines intersect at one point only. Exactly one solution: x = 4, y = 2 Lines are parallel (each has slope –  ). No solution. (C) 2x – 3y = –6 –x + 3 / 2 y = 3 Lines coincide. Infinitely many solutions.

4. An augmented matrix is transformed into a row-equivalent matrix if any of the following row operations is performed: 1. Two rows are interchanged (R i  R j ). 2. A row is multiplied by a nonzero constant (kR i  R i ). 3. A constant multiple of another row is added to a given row (kR j + R i  R i ).
