Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is of the form
y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality
To find k use the slope formula
k = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 16) ← 2 points on the line
k = 
= 
= 8

Answer:
- Length = 43 inches
- Width = 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)
The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.
Assume the width is x. Length is:
4x - 5
Equation is therefore:
2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110
4x - 5 + x = 110/2
5x - 5 = 55
5x = 55 + 5
x = 60/5
x = 12 inches
If width is 12 inches, then length is:
= 4x - 5
= 4 * 12 -5
= 43 inches
