<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

<span>The correct answers are D. 0 and E. 1

A function $f$ from a set A to a set B is a relation that assigns to each element $x$ in the set A exactly one element in the set B. The set A is the domain (also called set of inputs) of the function and the set B contains the range (also called set of outputs). According to this statement the set of values that $y$ take is the range, so as shown in the Figure above:

First.

$y=1 \ when \ x=0$

Second.

$y=0 \ when \ x=-1 \ and \\ y=0 \ when \ x=1$ </span>

First thing to do is to remember, that the circumference of the full circle is 2(6)pi--12pi. you only want about 120 of it so (120/360)=1/3, so you add it into the thing earlier to get, 12pi(1/3)=4pi =12.566... which you can round into 12.6. This is answer choice A.

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.

We have then:
