e) set of all points Found 2 solutions by richwmiller, stanbon:Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What do you notice if you divide the first by 3 and the second by 2?
correct they are the same
if you solve those two equations for y you will see that
4x+6y=10
6y=10-4x
y=10/6-4x/6
y=-2x/3+5/3
6x+9y=15
9y=15-6x
y=15/9-6x/9
y=-2x/3+5/3
They are equivalent equations with the same points
So answer c is correct
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The solution set for the system 6x+9y=15 and 4x+6y=10 is best described as:
---------
Write each equation in slope-intercept form to see that both
have a slope of -2/3
So the lines are parallel and never meet.
------
Ans: d
because, if you assume x and y have the same meaning in the two
equations, you are assuming something which is not true. So the
system is said to be inconsistent.
