What is true about this system?
The system has no solution
The system has one solution
The lines are identical
The lines are perpendicular
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the correct answer. Let's check the relationship.
Step 1: Divide the first equation by 5:
This is exactly the second equation!
Conclusion: The lines are identical (coincident), meaning infinitely many solutions.
💡 Strategic Tip: Identical lines are a special case—they have infinitely many solutions because every point on one line is also on the other.
Choice A is incorrect because no solution requires parallel lines with different constants.
Choice B is incorrect because one solution requires different slopes.
Choice D is incorrect because both lines have the same slope (), not perpendicular slopes.
