Before the fraction: -1/2, i have a negative sign
use y=mx+b
3=-1/2(2)+b
3+1=-1+b+1
4=b
check your work
0=-1/2x+4
0+4=-1/2x
(4)÷(-1/2)=(-1/2x)÷(-1/2)
-2=x
another pair is (-2,0) use this to figure out the other points, and/or the points you have in the multiple choice.
Answer:
independent
Step-by-step explanation:
Dependent equations graph as the <em>same line</em>. These lines are not the same, so the equations are independent.
___
However, the lines are parallel, so the equations are also <em>inconsistent</em>. There is <em>no solution</em> to this system of equations.
-7y-4x=17y-2x=53
-4x=24y-2x=53
-2x=24y=53
24y+2x=53
You would have to solve one at a time.
y=53/24
y=2.21
x=53/2
x=26.5
Let, the price of jacket before tax = x
it would be: x*105/100 = 118.65
x = 11865/105
x = $113
I believe the answer is 14
