Another type of system of linear equations is an
inconsistent system , which is one in which the equations represent two parallel lines. The lines have the same slope and different
y- intercepts. There are no points common to both lines; hence, there is no solution to the system.
Types of linear systems
There are three types of systems of linear equations in two variables, and three types of solutions.
An
independent system has exactly one solution pair
The point where the two lines intersect is the only solution.
An
inconsistent system has no solution. Notice that the two lines are parallel and will never intersect.
A
dependent system has infinitely many solutions. The lines are coincident. They are the same line, so every coordinate pair on the line is a solution to both equations.
[link] compares graphical representations of each type of system.
Given a system of linear equations and an ordered pair, determine whether the ordered pair is a solution.
Substitute the ordered pair into each equation in the system.
Determine whether true statements result from the substitution in both equations; if so, the ordered pair is a solution.
Determining whether an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations
Determine whether the ordered pair
is a solution to the given system of equations.
Substitute the ordered pair
into both equations.
The ordered pair
satisfies both equations, so it is the solution to the system.
There are multiple methods of solving systems of linear equations. For a
system of linear equations in two variables, we can determine both the type of system and the solution by graphing the system of equations on the same set of axes.
Solving a system of equations in two variables by graphing
Solve the following system of equations by graphing. Identify the type of system.
Solve the first equation for
Solve the second equation for
Graph both equations on the same set of axes as in
[link] .
The lines appear to intersect at the point
We can check to make sure that this is the solution to the system by substituting the ordered pair into both equations.
The solution to the system is the ordered pair
so the system is independent.
Can graphing be used if the system is inconsistent or dependent?
Yes, in both cases we can still graph the system to determine the type of system and solution. If the two lines are parallel, the system has no solution and is inconsistent. If the two lines are identical, the system has infinite solutions and is a dependent system.

I'm interested in biological psychology and cognitive psychology
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
