Answer:
a = 8
b ≠ 18
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 7
2y = ax + b
For there to be no solution, the lines (if graphed) should be parallel meaning that their slopes are equal but the y-intercepts are different
y = mx +b is the equation of a line where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Multiply the first equation by 2
2y = 8x - 14
2y = ax + b
So a has to equal 8
b can be anything except 14 (otherwise the lines would be the same)
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Letter B would be the correct answer
Answer:
(-3,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -x - 5
y = 2x + 4
plug in one of the y equations
(2x+4)= -x - 5
2x+4=-x-5
3x=-9
x= -3
plug in x to one of the y equations
y= -(-3) -5
y=3-5
y= -2
x= -3, y= -2
