Given:

The first equation of the system of equations is

5x+2y=-4

To find:

The equation that gives a system with no solution.

Solution:

We have,

5x+2y=-4

It can be written as

2y=-5x-4

y=\dfrac{-5x-4}{2}

y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-2

On comparing this equation with slope intercept form y=mx+b, we get

m=-\dfrac{5}{2},b=-2

It means the slope of the line is -\dfrac{5}{2} and the y-intercept is -2.

Slope of parallel lines are same but the y-intercepts are different.

From the given options, the slope of the line is -\dfrac{5}{2} only in option D and the y-intercept is -3 which is different from -2.

The line y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-3 is parallel to the given line and parallel lines have no solution. So, the second equation of the system of equations is y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-3.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

5+ (9.7 - b ) =6.8 what is the value of b
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

b = 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + (9.7 - b) = 6.8 \\ 5 + 9.7 - b = 6.8 \\ 14.7 - b = 6.8 \\  - b = 6.8 - 14.7 \\  - b =  - 7.9 \\  = b = 7.9

What is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 4?
hammer [34]
1) find the corresponding y values for when x = 0 and when x = 4,
when x = 0, y = 4
when x = 4, y = 4

the coordinates are (0,4) and (4,4)

2) to calculate the average rate of change, find the slope of the two points:

(0,4) (4,4)

(change in y) 4 - 4 = 0
(change in x) 4 - 0 = 4

0/4 = 0

the average rate of change is 0!

The solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

The best way to solve the above equation is by the use of a graphing calculator i.e. graphically

However, it can be solved algebraically too (to some extent)

Recall that the equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

Split the equation

So, we have

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

p - 1/3 = 0

Solve for p in p - 1/3 = 0

p = 1/3

Substitute p = 1/3  in p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

So, we have

(1/3)^2 - 2q(1/3) + 1/q = 0

This gives

1/9 - 2/3q + 1/q = 0

This gives

2/3q + 1/q = -1/9

Multiply though by q

So, we have

2/3q^2 + 1 = -1/9q

Multiply through by 9

6q^2 + 9 = -q

So, we have

6q^2 + q + 9 = 0

Using the graphing calculator, we have

q = undefined

Hence. the solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined
