3
pound hamburgers.

What is the maximum number of
1
3
pound hamburgers Alex can make

none.

step-by-step explanation:

m

=

5

m1=5

b

=

−

1

b=-1

find the slope and y-intercept of the second equation.

b

−

6

b=-6

compare the slopes

m

m of the two equations.

m

1

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

m

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

(5x-1)^2= (5x)^2-2(5x)×1+(1)^2=25x^2-10x+1

the correct answer is 1.7
