Answer:

The system has an infinite solution at k = 6, otherwise for any value of k, it has zero solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the system of linear equations:

3x_{1} -x_{2}=2\;\;\;\;\;\;(1)\\ 9x_{1} -3x_{2}=k\;\;\;\;\;(2)

The system of linear equations can have zero, one, or an infinite number of solutions:

simplify equation (1):

x_{2}=3x_{1} -2

substitute in equation (2), we get

9x_{1} -3(3x_{1}-2)=k\\9x_{1} -9x_{1}+6=k\\0+6=k

we cannot find the value of x_{1} and x_{2}.

so, there is no solution.

Multiply the equation (1) with 3 and put k is 6,

3(3x_{1} -x_{2})=3\times2\\9x_{1} -3x_{2})=6

it means both equations are overlapped. Then, the solution has infinite solutions.

Hence, the system has an infinite solutions at k is 6 otherwise for any value of k it has no solution.

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-2,3) and has a gradient of 3.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

y = 3x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of a line is in the form y = mx + c

m is the gradient

c is the y intercept

Get the y-intercept

Substitute m = 3 and the point (-2, 3) into the formula y = mx+c

3 = 3(-2) + c

3 = -6+c

c = 3+6

c = 9

Get the required equation;

y = 3x + 9

Hence the required equation is y = 3x+9

aivan3 [116]

Complete question is;

Maya is choosing between several pay plans for her new job. If she usually has monthly sales of about $5,000, which plan would allow Maya to earn the most money in a month?

Plan, Monthly base salary, Commission rate

A, $500, 8%

B, $600, 7%

C, $700, 6%

D, $800, 5%

Options:

A. plan A

B. plan B

C. plan C

D. plan D

Answer:

Option D - Plan D

Step-by-step explanation:

For plan A, at 8% commission rate,her monthly pay would be, 500 + 8%*5,000 = $900

For plan B, at 7% commission rate, her monthly pay would be; 600 + 7%*5,000 = $950

For plan C, at 6% commission rate, her monthly pay would be;700 + 6%*5,000 = $1000

For plan D, at 5% monthly commission rate, her monthly pay = 800 + 5%*5,000 = $1050

So the plan that allows maya earn the most is the highest which is plan D
