State whether the system is consistent and independent, consistent and dependent or inconsistent. y = 0.5x 2y = x + 4 a. consistent and independent c. inconsistent

The correct option is c. The given system is inconsistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inconsistent system: If the given system has no solutions, then it is an inconsistent system.

Consistent and independent system: If the given system has only one solutions, then it is an consistent and independent system.

Consistent and dependent system: If the given system has many solutions, then it is an consistent and dependent system.

The given equations are

      ... (1)

Divide the second equation by 2, to rewrite the given equation in slope intercept form.

      ..... (2)

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx + b       ....(3)

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

On comparing the (1), (2) and (3), we get the slope of first line is 0.5 and slope of second line is 0.5.

Since the slope of two parallel lines are same, therefore both the given equations are parallel and parallel equations have no solutions.

Therefore option c is correct.

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
