Michaela solved a system of linear equations that had no solution. One of the equations was x + y = 5. The other equation had a y-intercept of −2. What was the other equation?

We have a system of equations with no solutions.

One of the equations is:

x + y = 5.

Isolating y in one side of the equation, we get:

y = 5 - x

And the other equation has an y-intercept of -2, the equation can be written as:

y = a*x - 2.

Then the system will be:

y = -1*x + 5

y = a*x - 2

The solution of a system of equations is a point where the graphs of both functions intersect.

Then if both of these lines are parallel, the lines will never intersect, then the second equation must be parallel to the first one.

And two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

Then the other equation will be:

y = -x - 2

what do you need me to answer?

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
