Answer: the length of the longer piece is 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shorter piece of board.

The 16-foot board is to be cut into two pieces so that one piece is 4 feet longer than the other. This means that the expression for the length of the longer piece of board is x + 4

Since the total length of the board is 16-foot, it means that

x + x + 4 = 16

2x + 4 = 16

2x = 16 - 4

2x = 12

x = 12/2 = 6

The length of the longer piece would be

x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 feet

Answer:

1. The slope of the line is 7/3

2. y intercept is -3

3. y= 7/3x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line you use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1

y2 and y1 are y coordinates of the 2 coordinates on the same line that you want to find the slope of and the same with x2 and x1

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis and x= 0

the equation of a line is y= mx+b

m= slope

b= y intercept

Under which condition will two lines not have a common solution
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Each shows two lines that make up a system of equations. If the graphs of the equations intersect, then there is one solution that is true for both equations. If the graphs of the equations do not intersect (for example, if they are parallel), then there are no solutions that are true for both equations.

Answer: (8,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

To go from A to C, we go right 2 units and up 6 units.

So, if we let the fourth vertex be D, then to go from B to D, we must also go right 2 units and up 6 units from B.

Therefore, the answer is (8, 10).
