algebraWhich system has infinitely many solutions?
I.
II.
III.
A
I only
B
II only
C
III only
D
I and II only
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the correct answer. Let's analyze each system:
System I: and
- Same slope (6), different intercepts (2 and -5)
- Parallel lines → No solution
System II: and
- Divide second by 3:
- Same line → Infinitely many solutions ✓
System III: and
- Different slopes (6 and -6)
- Intersecting lines → One solution
Conclusion: Only System II has infinitely many solutions.
💡 Strategic Tip: For infinitely many solutions, equations must represent the exact same line (same slope, same intercept).
Choice A is incorrect because System I has no solution (parallel lines).
Choice C is incorrect because System III has one solution (different slopes).
Choice D is incorrect because System I has no solution.
