The system of equations is inconsistent. What are the missing values?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Pls share the equations in question. Also, please definite "inconsistent" as it applies to systems of linear equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y= 2/3 X+3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is only one equation, I think that we need of a second equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= / X+5

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: I can rewrite the first equation as below: \[\Large y - \frac{2}{3}x = 3\] whereas I can rewrite the second equation as below: \[\Large y - kx = 5\] Now, a way to get an inconsistent system is to choose the value for \(k\) such that, the left side of the second equation, is equal to the left side of the first equation

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, \(k=...?\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for what values of \(k\) the subsequent condition holds: \[y - \frac{2}{3}x = y - kx\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is it \(k=2/3\) ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

savana: Much earlier, I asked y ou to DEFINE the term "inconsistent" as it applies to systems of linear equations. Until you can do that, it's going to be hard for you to undrstand what you're looking for in this problem solution.

ima just tell her could i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

thats an ex

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

5x+ay=2 write it in y=mx+b form ay=-5x=+2 3y=-bx+8 y=-5/a x+2/a y=-b/3 x+8/3 the system will be inconsisent when the equation describes two parallel lines two lines r parallel when the slopes identical a-5/8=-b/3 ab=(-5) * (-3) ab=15 so for every value of ab such as ab=15 this system equation is inconsisent

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i just ask ur bro to help me so u better be prepared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i told him u were MIA

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

.-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so r u going to help me or what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but hurry cuz i don't want to get logged out again

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c'mon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then i guess i have to ask ur bro

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

no im here

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

so whats ur question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

scroll up

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

scroll up & u will see my answer
