The pair of equations y = 0 and y = -7 has
a. one solution
b. two solutions
c. infinitely many solutions
d. no solution
Solution:
Given, the pair of equations are
y = 0
y = -7
We have to find the solution.
Here, b₁ = 1, c₁ = 0
b₂ = 1, c₂ = -7
So, b₁/b₂ = 1/1 = 1
c₁/c₂ = 0/-7 = 0
So, \(\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\)
We know that,
For a pair of linear equations in two variables be a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0,
If \(\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\), then
i) the pair of linear equations is inconsistent
ii) the graph will be a pair of parallel lines and so the pair of equations will have no solution.
Therefore, the pair of equations has no solution.

Given, the pair of equations are
y = -1
y = 0
We have to find the solution.
Here, b₁ = 1, c₁ = -1
b₂ = 1, c₂ = 0
So, b₁/b₂ = 1/1 = 1
c₁/c₂ = -1/0
So, \(\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\)
Therefore, the pair of equations has no solution
