Mathematics Question on Linear Equations
Which one of the following options is true, and why? y = 3x + 5 has
(i) a unique solution,
(ii) only two solutions,
(iii) infinitely many solutions
Answer
y = 3x + 5 is a linear equation in two variables and it has infinite possible solutions. As for every value of x, there will be a value of y satisfying the above equation and vice-versa.
Hence, the correct answer is (iii): infinitely many solutions.
