WRITING
Describe the difference between the graph of a system of linear
equations that has no solution and the graph of a system of linear equations
that has infi nitely many solutions.

REASONING
When solving a system of linear equations algebraically, how do
you know when the system has no solution? infi nitely many solutions?
Let x and y be two numbers. Find the solution of the puzzle.

of x plus 3 is equal to y.
y is
more than 4 times the value of x.

The difference of 3y and 12x is 1.
x is 6 more than twice the value of y.
Without graphing, determine whether the system of linear equations has
one solution, infi nitely many solutions, or no solution. Explain your reasoning.
5. y = 5x − 9
6. y = 6x + 2
7. y = 8x − 2
y = 5x + 9
y = 3x + 1
y − 8x = −2
Solve the system of linear equations. Check your solution.

y = −2x + 4
error in solving the system of linear equations.
error in solving the system of linear
y = −2x + 6
The lines have the same slope, so,
there are infi nitely many solutions.

PIG RACE
In a pig race, your pig gets a head start
of 3 feet and is running at a rate of 2 feet per second.
Your friend’s pig is also running at a rate of 2 feet
per second. A system of linear equations that
represents this situation is y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x.
Will your friend’s pig catch up to your pig? Explain.
