The equation for line m is y=1/2x-5 . Use this information and these descriptions to write an equation for line n, line p, and line r. a) Line m and line n have no solutions. Write an equation that can represent line n. b)Line m and line p have infinitely many solutions. Write an equation that can represent line p. c)Line m and line r have one solution. Write an equation that can represent line r.

a) the line m you are given has slope 1/2, so line n, if it has no solutions with line m, must have the same slope b) if line m and line p have infinitely many solutions, they are the same line. you can accomplish this by multiplying line m by a constant, or re-arranging the equation algebraically c) if line m and line r only have one solution, line m and line r must have different slopes and y-intercepts with that being said, try writing an equation for all three lines, n, r, p, based on this information
