Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
If two equations 
and 
has infinitely many solutions, then
The given equations are
It is given that the above system of equations has infinitely many solutions. So,
Now,
and 
and 
and 
So, a=1.5 and b=2.
Now,
Therefore, .
Answer:
length=45 m (2 sides = 90m)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x +3x=144
8x=144
x=18 (each of the 8 parts of 144 measure 18m)
5(18) + 3(18)=144
90 +54=144
90/2=45 (1 length side)
54/2=27 (1 width side)
The rectangle= 45+45 +27+27 = 144
Some things you need to know:
1) You need to know how to convert standard form to slope y-int. form and slope y-int. form to standard form.
2) When two lines are parallel, the slopes are the same.
3) When two lines are perpendicular, the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. (Or their product is -1)
example: 3/4 --> -4/3.
3/4 * -4/3 = -12/12 = -1
4) To find the value of b, substitute the point into the equation.
5) Convert the equation to slope y-int. form to find the slope.
6) When a line has an undefined slope, the slope y-int. will look either like
y = __ (forms horizontal line) or x = __ (forms vertical line).
To find the perpendicular of these lines, turn y to x / x to y.
To find the value of __, look at the point located in the line, so if x = ___
passes through (5,3), then x = 5 because x = 5 in the point. So the
equation would be x = 5.
