A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.
This is a professional level of thinking
Let’s evaluate
Molly and her five friends=6 humans
therefore it would be 300 oranges divided by 6 Humans=50
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
It should be all positive
Answer:
See screenshot for graph and points - This is <em>not</em> a function because it fails the vertical line test.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical line test means that if you can draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph and it hits more than one part of the graph, then it isn't a function.
