The system of equations is inconsistent.

What are the missing values?

y = 2/3x + 3
y = ( )/( )x + 5

help please.

Answer 1

Inconsistent means that the lines are parallel. Therefore, to complete your question..just make the missing value have the same slope.

Answer 2

First, consider what inconsistent means with regard to the system of equations.

Answer 3

yea ik what it means but idk how to do it with fractions?

Answer 4

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Answer 5

It doesn't matter if it's in a fraction. The slope (2/3) was in the first equation. The 2nd one must match that.

Slope in 2nd line is...?

Answer 6

so its 2/3?

Answer 7

Yep. It's not a trick question, lol

Answer 8

but one equals 3 and one equals 5 @dtan5457 ?

Answer 9

It doesn't matter what the y intercept is. If the y intercept was the SAME, they will have INFINITE solutions, which wouldn't be inconsistent.

You actually need them to be different in terms of the y intercept, but the slope must be the same.

Answer 10

could u help with one more? @dtan5457
