Explain why you cannot find the intersection points of the two lines shown below. Give both an algebraic reason and a graphical reason. y=4x+1 and y= 4x+10

Answer:

[tex]m_1 = m_2 = 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 4x + 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 4x + 10[/tex]

Required

Show that these two lines have no point of intersection

The general equation of a line is

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where m represents slope

In [tex]y = 4x + 1[/tex]

[tex]m = 4[/tex]

Similarly; in [tex]y = 4x + 10[/tex]

[tex]m = 4[/tex]

Since the slope of both lines are equal;

[tex]m_1 = m_2 = 4[/tex]

This implies that the lines are parallel and parallel lines have no point of intersection
