Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

What b represents here is the y intercept.

The first thing we will do here is to find the slope.

Mathematically;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plugging the values;

m = (12-3)/(7-4) = 9/3 = 3

The equation can thus be written as;

y = 3x + b

To get b, we can use any of the points since they lie on the line

Let’s use point M

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

3 = 3(4) + b

3 = 12 + b

b = 3-12 = -9

Suppose the system of linear equations has no solution. Which is NOT a possible value of the constant for the second equation?
Tom [10]

Answer:

  A)  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the second equation are 1/3 of those of the first equation. If the constant of the second equation is also 1/3 of the constant of the first equation, then the equations are <em>dependent</em>, and will have an infinite number of solutions.

The constant must be something other than 1/3·15 = 5 to make the equations <em>inconsistent</em>, having no solutions.

1/7(x+21)=-6<br> answer ?
Talja [164]
(1/7) Multiplied By x is 1/7x And (1/7) Multplied By Positive 21 is 3. So It Will Then Change To 1/7x + 3 = -6.
Subtract 3 From Both Sides. Then The Equation Changes To 1/7x = -9
Then Since (1/7) Basically Means To Divide You Would Multiply By 7 On Both Sides And Then x Would Equal -63!(:
Then Can Plug In -63 Where x Is To Check Your Work! Hope I Helped!
