Question

HELP! WILL GIVE MEDALS!
Consider two lines that form a linear system.
Line 1: slope = 2 and y-intercept of (0,-5)
Line 2: slope = 4 and y-intercept of (0,8)

Part 1: What type of lines would this be?
Part 2: How many solutions does this system have?

Answer 1

Answer 2

first find the equations of the two lines

by formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

graph these two lines if they they intersect
then they are intersecting lines
and have one solution

if they are parallel then they are parallel lines
and there is no solution

Answer 3

Im really confused...
@mathmath333

Answer 4

*if they dont intersect then they are parallel lines
and there is no solution

Answer 5

do they intersect? @mathmath333

Answer 6

the equation will tell that,have u got the equation

Answer 7

for first equation put (0,-5) ,m(slope)=2

in equation y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 8

I dont have the equation @mathmath333

Answer 9

but u can find it ,can't u ?

in the previous comment i said

for first equation put (0,-5) ,m(slope)=2

in equation y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 10

y-(-5)=2(x-0)

y+5=2x

2x-y=5.....this is the first equation like these find second also

Answer 11

Im so bad at math. I dont know how to find the second equation. @mathmath333
