<span>You do need the slope. It's not obvious in "Standard Form". Ax + By = C ==> y = -(A/B)x + (C/B) There's your slope to compare. Find -A/B for each. 3x + 2y = 4 ==> Slope = -3/2 6x + 4y = 5 ==> Slope = -6/4 = -3/2 3x + y = 4 ==> Slope = -3 The top two examples COULD be parallel. If the constant is the same, that's a bit sneaky because they are really the SAME line. That's not really parallel.</span>

ladessa [460]

Answer: 5 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

If they both walked in the same direction, they both will be the same distance from each other.

If Madison went to a coffee shop 2 blocks west from the store, and her sister went from the store they were previously at to her job 7 blocks west, then, since they walked in the same direction, they would only be 5 blocks away.

Hope this helps :)

(a-12)x = a+8 in the equation to the left, a is a constant. if the equation has no solutions, what is the value of a?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

<h2>The value of a is 12.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given by (a - 12)x = a + 8.

In order to get the solution of the equation, that is the value of x, the above equation is needs to be divided by a - 12. (a - 12) will be in the denominator.

The solution can not be found, if the value of a - 12 will be 0, that is a = 12.
