Writing Equations of Lines

Consider the system: y = 3x + 5 y = ax + b what values for a and b make the system inconsistent? what values for a and b make the system consistent and dependent? explain

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown. 4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15 (4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3 2x = 18 what is the solution of the system of equations? (1,2) (3,9) (5,5) (9,3)

The given diagram shows the parts of a right triangle with an altitude to the hypotenuse. using the two given  measures, find the other four.
