For what value of b will 4x-8y=5 and 9y+bx=4 inconsistent?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "4x-8y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "bx+9y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Inconsistent --> parallel graphs --> equal slopes.
\n" ); document.write( "4x-8y = 5 --> m1 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "bx+9y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = -b/9 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "b = -9/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
