How to identify a strong vs weak relationship on ERD?

Question

A dashed line means that the relationship is strong, whereas a solid line means that the relationship is weak. On the following diagram how do we decide that the relationship between the Room and Class entities is strong. Is it because Room entity has a regular key (non-composite)?

Solution 1

In an ER diagram, I believe when the relationship is strong, i.e., the primary_key of the parent forms a composite or non-composite primary_key in the child entities, we use a solid line to depict that. Similarly, for the case when the relationship is weak, which means the primary_key of the parent is not used as a primary_key in the child entity, then we use a dashed line to show that.

Solution 2

The relationship Room to Class is considered weak (non-identifying) because the primary key components CID and DATE of entity Class doesn't contain the primary key RID of entity Room (in this case primary key of Room entity is a single component, but even if it was a composite key, one component of it also fulfills the condition).

However, for instance, in the case of the relationship Class and Class_Ins we see that is a strong (identifying) relationship because the primary key components EmpID and CID and DATE of Class_Ins contains a component of the primary key Class (in this case it contains both components CID and DATE).
