show graphically that the system of equations

3x-y=2

9x-3y=6

has infinitely many solutions

We have the following 2 equations of the lines

3x-y=2  

9x-3y=6

So,

If x1/x2 = y1/y2 = c1/c2 than the lines are said to be co-incident and the lines have infinite solution.

In other words if you divide the second equation throughout by 3 you get the same equation as that of 1.

So the two lines are same when draw on a Cartesian plane. 

 

  • -2

If  x1/x2  =  y1/y2 =  c1/c2

then the two equations have infinitely many solutions
