1. Graph of a System Number of Solutions Exactly one solution Infinitely manyNo Solutions TerminologyConsistent and Independent Consistent and Dependent Inconsistent

2. Use the graph to determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. Answer: Since the graphs ofand are parallel, there are no solutions.

3. Use the graph to determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. Answer: Since the graphs ofand are intersecting lines, there is one solution.

4. Use the graph to determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. Answer: Since the graphs ofand coincide, there are infinitely many solutions.

5. Use the graph to determine whether each system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. a. b. c. Answer: one Answer: no solution Answer: infinitely many

6. The graphs of the equations are parallel lines. Since they do not intersect, there are no solutions of this system of equations. Graph the system of equations. Then determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has one solution, name it. Answer:

7. Graph the system of equations. Then determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has one solution, name it. a. Answer: one; (0, 3)

8. Answer: no solution Graph the system of equations. Then determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has one solution, name it. b.

9. Bicycling Tyler and Pearl went on a 20-kilometer bike ride that lasted 3 hours. Because there were many steep hills on the bike ride, they had to walk for most of the trip. Their walking speed was 4 kilometers per hour. Their riding speed was 12 kilometers per hour. How much time did they spend walking? Words You have information about the amount of time spent riding and walking. You also know the rates and the total distance traveled. Variables Let the number of hours they rode andthe number of hours they walked. Write a system of equations to represent the situation.

10. Graph the equationsand. The graphs appear to intersect at the point with the coordinates (1, 2). Check this estimate by replacing r with 1 and w with 2 in each equation.

11. Check Answer: Tyler and Pearl walked for 3 hours.
