You are entering a System of Linear Equations contest with three categories: systems of linear

equations with no solution, system of linear equations with one solution, and system of linear
equations with infinite solutions. You entered all three of categories and here are the rules.

Each category entry should have:

 Two different variables that will be used to graph


 Two different equations with at least two terms in each
 Work to solving the equation algebraically (substitution or elimination)
 Graph two equations on the same coordinate plane. (lines and axes are labeled and graph are scaled properly)
 A summary on how you know how many solutions there are.

The presentation of the entry should be:

 Organized by category
 Appealing to the eyes (easy to read)
 Colorful
