162 / 2 = 81
the answer is D
Answer:
y = -1/2 (4 x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of two equations with no solution will consist of equations for <em>parallel lines</em>. The line will be parallel if they have the same slope (x-coefficient) and different y-intercepts.
The given line has a slope of -2, so eliminating the last two choices.
The first two choices can be expanded to slope-intercept form:
y = negative 2 (x minus one-half) ⇒ y = -2x +1 . . . same as given line
y = negative one-half (4 x + 2) ⇒ y = -2x -1 . . . parallel line
There will be no solution if another equation is ...
y = -1/2(4x +2)
there is no question if u post it i will happily help u
So in the proper form, the equation would by y = 3x + 15. This means it has a slope of 3. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. The negative reciprocal of 3 (or 3/1) is -1/3.
