Step-by-step explanation:
<u>As per the graph we have:</u>
- Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)
- Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)
<u>Slope formula is:</u>
- m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
<u>Slope of JL:</u>
- (0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3
<u>Slope of MP:</u>
- (-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3
The absolute value measures the distance a number is away from the origin (zero) on the number line. A number can be to the left or right of zero on the number line, but the distance away from zero is always positive. Graphically:
In other words:
• If d is positive and
• If d is negative and
Therefore, the equation that has no solutions is:
