2x-3y=7
-3y = -2x+7
y= 2x/3-7/3
slope of 2/3 (rise 2, run 3)
y-intercept of -7/3
Would be a positive line, starting low on left and rising towards right
<h3>Answer:</h3>
none of these has "no solution"
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
A. The solution is (8/3, 3)
B. The second equation is -1/2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.
C. The solution is (-4, -2)
D. The solution is (4, -2)
E. The second equation is 2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.
_____
A system of equations will have "no solution" when it describes parallel lines—lines that do not intersect. In standard form, such equations are recognizable by their different constants. For example,
- 3x -4y = -4
- 3x -4y = 20 . . . . . . 20 is different from -4
have different constants, so the equations describe parallel lines.
We could multiply one of these by -2 and the system would still be "inconsistent"—having no solution.
Answer:
20 feet above sea level.
Explanation:
This can be solved by looking at the Rate of Change. It is given that for ONE minute that passes by, her elevation increases by ONE foot.
With this rate, after 20 minutes, the elevation can be shown as:
20 min × 1 foot= 20 feet.
