Consider the graph with four lines below. On a coordinate plane, line a has a positive slope and goes through points (negative 1
, 0) and (1, 2), line b has a negative slope and goes through (negative 2, 2) and (negative 1, negative 1), line c has a negative slope and goes through (0, 3) and (1, 0), and line d is horizontal at y = 1. By inspection, which system would have no solution? line a and line b line a and line c line b and line c line b and line d
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct option is;
line a and line b
Step-by-step explanation:
Lina a passes through (-1, 0) and (1, 2)
Line b passes through (2, 2) and (-1, -1)
Line c passes through (0, 3) and (1, 0)
Line d passes through y = 1
An equation that has no solution
By examination, from the plot of the coordinates using an online tool, the system that would have no solution is the system of line a and line b because they are parallel lines and cannot meet or have a point where there is a common solution, therefore, there are no solutions when the equations of the two lines are combined in one equation
Slope of line a = -2/-2 = 1
Slope of line b = 3/3 = 1
The slopes of lines a and b are equal, therefore, line a and line b are parallel.

Step 1: Read and understand the problem statement.
You are given (time, depth) pairs of (20 s, 8 cm) and (40 s, 0 cm) and asked to write an equation that describes the relationship of depth (y) to time (x).
The rate of change is (0 cm -8 cm)/(40 s -20 s) = -8 cm/(20 s) = -2/5 cm/s. Then in point-slope form using the second point, the linear function rule is
y = (-2/5)(x -40) +0
You can expand this to
y = (-2/5)x +16
y = -0.4x +16 . . . . . . using a decimal number for the slope
