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.
Find the median of each set:-
Median is middle number of a data set. If a data set has an odd number of numbers then the median is the middle number when ordered form least to greatest but if its an even number you have to find the mean for the middle 2 numbers when ordered for least to greatest.
A.
1.2, 2.4, 3.2, 3.2, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.7
Even numbers = 8
3.2 + 3.6 = 6.8
6.8 ÷ 2 =
Median = 3.4
So this shows that A isn't the answer because the median of A is 3.4, not 3.2.
B.
1.6, 2.8, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 4.2, 4.5
Even numbers = 8
3.1 + 3.3 = 6.4
6.4 ÷ 2 = 3.2
Median = 3.2
<span>So this shows that B is the answer because the median of B is 3.2.
C.
1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2, 3.2, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9
</span>
Even numbers = 8
2.2 + 3.2 = 5.4
5.4 ÷ 2 = 2.7
Median = 2.7
<span>So this shows that C isn't the answer because the median of C is 2.7, not 3.2.
</span>
D.
1.4, 1.7, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2, 3.2, 4
Odd numbers = 9
Median = 3.1
<span>So this shows that D isn't the answer because the median of D is 3.1, not 3.2.

The stem and leaf plot which median is 3.2 is B.
First put the equation in y=mx+b form then plot the b and count off the slope.
<h3>
Answer: 944 dollars for the week</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
He sold $4950 worth of items. Take 12% of this amount to get
12% of 4950 = 0.12*4950 = 594
So he earns $594 in commission on top of the $350 base salary paid every week. In total, he earns 594+350 = 944 dollars for that week
This isn't the per week pay because he would need to sell exactly $4950 worth of goods each week to keep this same weekly pay.
