A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.
Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.
A: 2x + y = 5
y = 5 - 2x
y = -2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.
B: y = 2x + 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.
C: 2x - 4y = 10
-4y = 10 - 2x
-4y = -2x + 10
y = 2/4x -10/4
Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.
D: 2y - 4x = -10
2y = =10 + 4x
2y = 4x - 10
y = 2x - 5
Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts. The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.
Thus, D is the best choice.

Answer:
(b) 1.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2Pa
For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...
A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'
__
Solving for the apothem, we find ...
a = A/(3s)
For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...
a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches
The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.
