Show that every system of linear equations has either no solutions, exactly one solution or
infinitely many solutions.

Solution:
Consider a general system of two linear equations in the unknowns x and y,
𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑏1 𝑦 = 𝑐1 (𝑎1 , 𝑏1 not both zero) (1)
𝑎2 𝑥 + 𝑏2 𝑦 = 𝑐2 (𝑎2 , 𝑏2 not both zero) (2)
If we interpret x, y as coordinates in the xy-plane then the equations (1) and (2) represent two straight
lines 𝑙1 and 𝑙2 respectively and we know the intersecting point of the lines satisfies the equation of
the lines. Hence the point of intersection will be the solution of the above system of linear equations.
There are three possible cases of the lines 𝑙1 and 𝑙2 are illustrated in the following Fig. 1.

𝑙1 𝑙1 and 𝑙2

The lines 𝑙1 and 𝑙2 may be parallel as shown in Fig. 1(a), in which case there is no intersection and
consequently no solution to the system.
The lines 𝑙1 and 𝑙2 may intersect at only one point as shown in Fig. 1(b), in which case the system
has exactly one solution.
The lines 𝑙1 and 𝑙2 may coincide as shown in Fig. 1(c), in which case there are infinitely many
points of intersection and consequently infinitely many solutions to the system.
Therefore the general system of two linear equations has either no solutions, exactly one solution or
infinitely many solutions.
Since the same three possibilities hold for arbitrary linear systems, hence every system of linear
equations has either no solutions, exactly one solution or infinitely many solutions.
