Consider the equation:
10x - 4= ax + b

Find a value for a and a value for b so the equation has no solution.

also i rlly need someone to talk to ive been doing work all day :)

(b can be anything you want as long as its not -4)

Work Shown:

Note how ax+b looks really similar to mx+b. All that is different is the slope m is replaced with the letter 'a'.

On the left side, 10x-4 is in the form mx+b with m = 10 as the slope. If we made a = 10, then the slope of the right side would also be 10 and we'd have parallel lines as long as b is not -4.

If b = -4 along with a = 10, then we'd have 10x-4 on the right hand side. This leads to infinitely many solutions.

If b is anything but -4, and a = 10, then we have two parallel lines with no solutions since parallel lines never cross. I'm picking b = 0 since 0 is the easiest number to pick on. You can pick anything you want (as long as its not -4 of course) for the value of b.

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula

step-by-step explanation:

its 512 because parenthesis and to the 2nd power is 512 so it will be 512
