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:
distance across the pond: 13 yd
distance walked by Garret: 12 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
- distance across the pond: x yd
- distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
- distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd
A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 5² + (x-1)²
x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1
0 = 26 - 2x
x = 13

Answer:
y=-2x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-2x
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-7)=-2(x-0)
y+7=-2(x)
y+7=-2x
y=-2x-7
Answer:
The answer is
D. V= 19200- 12t
Step-by-step explanation:
in this problem, we already know that the pool contains 19200 gallons of water
and the pool is draining at 12 gallons per minutes, hence the volume is decreasing at that rate
Therefore for t minutes it will decrease by 12t
hence the volume after t minutes will be
V= 19200-12t
