Find p and q for which the linear eqn has infinite solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

p= 2.5

q= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.

Equations in slope- intercept form:

6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)

12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒  y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)

Slopes equal:

6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)

6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)

12p- 6= 24p - 36

12p= 30

p= 30/12

p= 2.5

y-intercepts equal:

(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)

(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)

(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4

4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)

8q+12= 10q- 2

2q= 14

q= 7

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

130=monthly charge

119=one time installation fee

Step-by-step explanation:

119 is the y-intercept and in problems like these, it is always the one time fee. 130 is the monthly payment because it has an x, which could account for the number of months. For example , say six months passed, you could multiply 130 * 6 to get the monthly fee for six months. I hope that makes sense!
