GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the solution of the equations $(7/2)x - (9/2) = 2y$ and $4y = 7x - 9$, we can start by rewriting both equations in slope-intercept form ($y = mx + b$). ### For the first equation: $$ (7/2)x - (9/2) = 2y $$ To isolate $y$, divide both sides by 2: $$ y = \frac{(7/2)x - (9/2)}{2} $$ Simplifying gives: $$ y = \frac{7}{4}x - \frac{9}{4} $$ ### For the second equation: $$ 4y = 7x - 9 $$ Now, divide both sides by 4 to express $y$: $$ y = \frac{7}{4}x - \frac{9}{4} $$ ### Comparing the two equations: Both equations simplify to: $$ y = \frac{7}{4}x - \frac{9}{4} $$ Since both equations represent the same line, this means they have an infinite number of solutions (every point on that line is a solution to both equations). ### Conclusion: The correct response is: **an infinite number of solutions**.

Which equation describes an infinite solution system with the equation y=4x−3 Responses 2y+8x=−6 2y−8x=6 2y−8x=−6 −2y+8x=−6

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find which equation describes the same line as $y = 4x - 3$, we need to express each of the given equations in slope-intercept form ($y = mx + b$) and check if they are equivalent.

Equation 1: $2y + 8x = -6$

Rearranging for $y$: \[ 2y = -8x - 6 \] \[ y = -4x - 3 \] (This does not match $y = 4x - 3$.)
Equation 2: $2y - 8x = 6$

Rearranging for $y$: \[ 2y = 8x + 6 \] \[ y = 4x + 3 \] (This does not match $y = 4x - 3$.)
Equation 3: $2y - 8x = -6$

Rearranging for $y$: \[ 2y = 8x - 6 \] \[ y = 4x - 3 \] (This matches $y = 4x - 3$.)
Equation 4: $-2y + 8x = -6$

Rearranging for $y$: \[ -2y = -8x - 6 \] \[ 2y = 8x + 6 \] \[ y = 4x + 3 \] (This does not match $y = 4x - 3$.)

Conclusion:

The equation that describes an infinite solution system with $y = 4x - 3$ is: \[ \boxed{2y - 8x = -6} \]

Here’s a suggested outline for a presentation that creates a timeline for federal consumer protection regulations in the United States.

Title Slide

Federal Regulation of Business Practices: Consumer Protection Timeline

Slide 1: Introduction

Brief overview of consumer protection and its importance in the marketplace.
Mention that the following timeline covers five key regulations that have shaped consumer protection in the U.S.

Slide 2: The Federal Trade Commission Act

Date Passed: September 26, 1914
Circumstance that Motivated It: Rapid industrialization and rising corporate monopolies were leading to unfair business practices, such as deceptive advertising and price fixing.
Who It Benefits and Why: Consumers benefit from increased transparency and fair competition; businesses benefit from a level playing field.

Slide 3: The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act

Date Passed: January 1, 1967
Circumstance that Motivated It: Consumers were confused by misleading packaging and labeling, making it difficult to make informed purchasing decisions.
Who It Benefits and Why: Consumers benefit from standardized labels that help them compare products more easily, thus promoting informed buying choices.

Slide 4: The Consumer Product Safety Act

Date Passed: October 27, 1972
Circumstance that Motivated It: An increase in injuries and deaths related to consumer products highlighted the need for regulation.
Who It Benefits and Why: It protects consumers from hazardous or defective products, ensuring their safety while using everyday items.

Slide 5: The Truth in Lending Act

Date Passed: May 29, 1968
Circumstance that Motivated It: Increasing credit use led to non-transparent lending practices, which often trapped consumers in cycles of debt.
Who It Benefits and Why: Consumers benefit from clear information on loan costs, allowing them to make informed financial decisions and avoid deceptive practices.

Slide 6: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

Date Passed: July 21, 2010
Circumstance that Motivated It: The 2008 financial crisis showcased weaknesses in the financial system especially regarding consumer protection in financial transactions.
Who It Benefits and Why: Consumers benefit from enhanced protections against financial fraud, clearer loan terms, and increased access to legal recourse.

Slide 7: Conclusion

Highlight the importance of ongoing consumer protection regulation in response to emerging challenges.
Stress that consumer protection is essential for a healthy economy and consumer trust.
