What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions? y = 6x – b –3x y = –3 b = a: 2 b: 4 c: 6 d: 8

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

( - 4 , -7 )

all the lines must parallel  

step-by-step explanation:

coordinates of c = ( - 1 , 2 )

3 units left = ( -4 , 2 )

9 units down = ( - 4 , 11 )

the answer is $23.63
