1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)
2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.
Factors of 48 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48.
True.
It is 15 because 5 times 3 is 15
