The given system of equation has no solution.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u><em>step 1</em></u><em> :</em>
The given equations are 4x + 2y = 14 and 2x + y = 7.
<u><em>step 2</em></u><em> :</em>
Let 4x + 2y = 14 be the first equation.
Let 2x + y = 7 be the second equation.
The solution (x,y) can be determined by solving the two equations, if only the given two equations are different.
<u><em>step 3</em></u><em> :</em>
In first equation taking 2 out as a common factor on both sides, the equation becomes:
2 (2x + y) = 2 (7)
So, the first equation resembles the second one.
<u><em>step 4</em></u><em> :</em>
Since both the equations are similar, they cannot be solved to get a solution. Therefore, the system of equation has no solution which is also known as inconsistent.
The answer is
the vector PQ has (4-1, 8-2) as components, so it is vecPQ= (3, 6)
using the definition
the distance PQ= sqrt ( 3²+6²)= sqrt(9+36)=sqrt(45)
The sign of the product of that equation would be negative.
