Question

2. Line A passes through the points (0,-5) and (12,1). Line b passes through the points (0,-4) and (10,1).

Write an equation for each line.




How many times will the lines intersect? How do you know?

can some help me pls and dont give me fake answer

Answer 1

so if line A passes through (0,-5) and (12,1) you can put it into the equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1. m=1+5/12-0 m=6/12 or m=1/2
if line B passes through (0,-4) and (10,1) you can use the same equation to find the slope. m=1+4/10-0 m=5/10 or m=1/2
(0,-5) and (0,-4) are y-intercepts so you can now put it into the equation y=mx+b
line A: y=1/2x-5
line B: y=1/2x-4
because the slope is the same and the y-intercept is different they will never intersect.
let me know if this helped i’m glad to.
